Overview

• Daylight Saving Time (DST) will begin on Sunday, March 9, 2025, with clocks moving forward one hour at 2 a.m. local time.
• Most U.S. states observe DST, but Hawaii, most of Arizona, and U.S. territories like Puerto Rico and Guam do not participate.
• President Trump has expressed opposition to DST, calling it inconvenient and costly, though no specific policy changes have been announced during his presidency so far.
• The Sunshine Protection Act, a stalled bipartisan bill, seeks to make DST permanent, while some experts and organizations advocate for permanent Standard Time instead, citing health benefits.
• Critics of the current system argue that seasonal time changes disrupt sleep patterns and circadian rhythms, contributing to health and safety risks such as increased accidents and heart issues.
