Spring ahead 2025 refers to the annual practice of moving clocks forward by one hour in the spring to take advantage of longer daylight hours. This adjustment is part of Daylight Saving Time (DST), a practice followed in many countries worldwide. In 2025, the transition to DST in the United States will occur on Sunday, March 9th, at 2:00 AM local time.
DST has several benefits, including reduced energy consumption due to less reliance on artificial lighting, increased outdoor activity and recreation, and potential economic advantages for businesses that rely on daylight hours. Historically, DST was first implemented during World War I as a way to conserve energy and has been in use in the U.S. since 1918.
