Daylight Saving Time 2024 Start and End: Everything You Need to Know Daylight Saving and Time Change
Mark your calendars! It's daylight saving time! Get ready to lose sleep by one hour on the second Sunday of March, March 10. But what is daylight saving time, and why do we move the clocks forward by an hour? Read on to know more.
As Daylight Saving Time approaches, we're gearing up to 'spring forward’ and adjust our clocks by one hour. This is done every year, as it marks the start of longer daylight hours and warmer weather. But why do we observe DST, and what is the history behind this clock-changing practice? In March, millions of Americans will experience the time shift as the clocks are set forward, thereby having to sacrifice one hour of sleep. It’s a bittersweet moment for many since we will be saying goodbye to chilly winters, and puffer jackets, but at the same time, we can look forward to the warmer spring season and get to engage in more outdoor activities. However, this change is not permanent. Daylight Saving Time will come to an end in November when we ‘fall back’ allowing us to get back our lost hour of sleep. The cycle will begin again in March 2025. So, every year in March, we spring forward and fall back in November. But this adjustment has consequences. It disrupts daily routines, affecting sleep patterns and adapting to later sunsets for millions of people. Let’s delve into the details of Daylight Saving Time 2024.

What is Daylight Saving Time?
Daylight Saving Time, known as DST, is when we adjust our clocks forward by one hour in the spring, and then back again in the fall.

In spring, moving the clocks forward gives us more daylight in the evenings during the summer. Then, in the fall, moving the clocks back gives us more daylight in the mornings during the winter.
