Daylight saving time (DST) is the practice of advancing clocks during warmer months so that people can make better use of natural light. In the United States, DST begins on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November. In 2025, DST will begin on March 9th and end on November 2nd.
There are many benefits to DST. It can help to reduce energy consumption, as people are less likely to use artificial lighting when it is still light outside. DST can also help to improve mood and sleep quality, as people are more likely to get outside and get some sunlight during the day. Additionally, DST can help to reduce crime, as there is less opportunity for criminals to operate under the cover of darkness.
