So why do we do it? Because the government tells us to. Congress mandated that beginning in 2007 daylight saving time would start the second Sunday in March and end the first Sunday in November -- an extension of four weeks from the old daylight saving time. States could opt out; only Arizona and Hawaii have.
Congress changed the time that Daylight Saving Time would begin and end. While residents of most of the country once turned their clocks back an hour on the last Sunday in October, the date was changed two years ago to the first Sunday in November. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 also extended Daylight Saving Time on the front end, starting in 2007, to begin on the second Sunday in March.
