Every year, the United States observes Daylight Saving Time (DST), a practice of advancing clocks during warmer months to make better use of natural daylight. The specific dates for the beginning and end of DST vary from year to year, but the general rule is that clocks move forward one hour on the second Sunday in March each year and back one hour on the first Sunday in November each year. In 2025, Daylight Saving Time will begin on Sunday, March 9th, 2025, at 2:00 AM local time, and end on Sunday, November 2nd, 2025, at 2:00 AM local time.
DST has been a topic of debate for many years, with proponents arguing that it saves energy, reduces crime, and improves overall well-being. However, opponents argue that it disrupts sleep patterns, increases the risk of accidents, and has negative effects on health. Despite the debate, DST remains a common practice in many countries around the world.
