In less than a month, Americans will lose an hour of sleep as daylight saving time begins on March 9, 2025. This means that clocks will spring forward by one hour, leading to longer daylight hours in the evenings. Daylight saving time will end on November 2, 2025. Most states observe this time change, but Hawaii and most of Arizona do not participate. The federal government has been overseeing time changes since 1918, with the Department of Transportation responsible for managing daylight saving time and U.S. time zones.
There have been recent efforts to end the practice of daylight saving time, with bills introduced to make it the year-round standard. President Donald Trump has expressed support for eliminating daylight saving time, but no executive orders have been issued on the issue. Congress has not made significant progress in addressing this issue as well.
As Americans prepare to adjust their clocks for daylight saving time, it remains uncertain whether this practice will continue in the future. Despite calls for change, the process of ending daylight saving time may take some time to materialize.
