Winter is winding down as February closes out and spring is in the air as March comes in. But nothing really says spring like the day we push the clocks forward for the start of daylight saving time 2025.
Under the current daylight saving period, most Americans will lose an hour on the second Sunday of March and gain an hour on the first Sunday of November.
Although the annual change in standard time will cause us to lose an hour sleep, the sunny side of this practice is longer and lighter evenings.
Here’s what to know about daylight saving time and when to change the clocks.
When does daylight saving time start in 2025?
Daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 9, at which time clocks ‘spring forward’ and reset to 3 a.m.
Will we lose an hour or gain an hour?
In the spring, clocks spring forward one hour. You will have lost an hour when you awake that morning.
When does daylight saving time end in 2025?
In the fall, clocks fall back one hour. You will gain an extra hour of potential sleep or play.
Daylight saving time ends on the first Sunday of November each year. This year the clocks will fall back an hour on Sunday, Nov. 2.
