Daylight Saving Time will begin in the U.S. and Canada on Sunday, March 9, ending Sunday, November 2. This means adjusting clocks forward by one hour. In the U.S., every state except Hawaii and Arizona observes daylight saving time. As the clocks spring forward, some will experience a temporary loss of sleep, but it also means longer daylight hours in the evening, which many people enjoy.
Around 70 countries—34% of the world’s nations—currently use daylight saving time. Europe, much of Canada, and parts of Australia implement it, while Russia and Asia do not. This year, most European countries, including the UK, will spring forward on Sunday, March 30.
Lawmakers have occasionally proposed doing away with the time change altogether. The most prominent recent attempt, a now-stalled bipartisan bill called the Sunshine Protection Act, proposed making daylight saving time permanent year-round.
