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.
Daylight saving time, a change in the standard time designed to conserve energy and make better use of daylight, officially begins Sunday. That means at 2 a.m., clocks should spring forward â in other words, they should be set one hour ahead. Daylight saving time officially ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 6, and that's when clocks will fall back an hour. The United States wasn't the first country to observe daylight saving time.
