Daylight saving time begins this weekend, taking an hour from sleep schedules as clocks spring forward on Sunday, March 10.
Americans gain an extra hour of sunlight until clocks fall back in November.
The time change occurs at 2 a.m. and lasts until Nov. 3, 2024.
When “springing forward,” people lose an hour, making waking up at 8 a.m. feel like 7 a.m.
Daylight saving time originated in 1916 for fuel conservation during World War I.
Not all states observe it, with Arizona, Hawaii, and some territories opting out.
The downsides include disruptions to circadian rhythms, linked to health issues.
Efforts to end daylight saving time face obstacles, despite public support for change.
