What is Daylight Saving Time? When is it? Do we gain an hour or lose an hour in March? What to know about DST and when clocks spring forward in 2025

As January draws to an end, Texas can look forward to daylight saving time as an indication of spring. Here's why President Trump may end it.

Soon it will be time to participate in the near-century-long tradition of turning clocks forward an hour to cherish an extra hour of sunlight in the warmer months. Here's when to "spring ahead" in 2025.

Daylight saving time begins 2 a.m. March 9, 2025. Will this be the last time change or will the practice continue?

"The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t!" Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social in 2024. "Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation."

According to TimeAndDate.com, daylight saving time will start on Sunday, March 9, this year. Clocks will “spring forward,” as the saying goes, at 2 a.m. (ET). And while there are those who simply shrug and dutifully change their clocks in accordance with the practice, there are others who are hoping time’s up for daylight saving time.

The annual ritual of setting clocks forward one hour takes place in early March. It's uncertain if the practice will continue.

President Trump called DST costly and inconvenient. Understanding its history, health impact, and remedies is important. Sleep medicine experts explain.

This spring, most of the United States will "spring forward," losing an hour of sleep to gain an hour of daylight.

In 2025, standard time will end and daylight saving time will begin Sunday, March 9, at 2 a.m. and end Sunday, Nov. 2. At that time, clocks will jump ahead one hour from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m.

North Dakota lawmakers in the state House have passed legislation by a vote of 55-37 to end daylight saving time. The legislation still needs to be passed by the Senate and signed by Gov. Kelly Armstrong (R-ND).
