Daylight saving time begins on Sunday, March 9, meaning most Americans will lose an hour of sleep as we "spring forward."

Daylight saving time runs from the second Sunday in March to the second Sunday in November. Digital clocks will automatically advance one hour at 2 a.m. on March 9.

Daylight Saving Time was introduced as an attempt to make better use of the natural daylight hours during the longer days of spring and summer. By shifting the clocks forward by one hour in the spring, people experience more daylight in the evening, reducing the need for artificial lighting and potentially saving energy.
