Clocks across America will jump an hour back at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday morning.
The Thinking Conservative News
"Any efforts to eliminate daylight saving time in Washington, D.C., will likely have backing from President Donald Trump, who previously suggested he’d support it, saying it was inconvenient and costly."
"It’s almost time!
Daylight saving time will begin on Sunday, causing clocks to skip forward an hour at 2:00 a.m. for most people living in the United States.
The majority of Americans who are expected to lose an hour of sleep on March 8 don’t support the current daylight saving system.
An AP-NORC poll from 2025 showed that just over 10 percent of Americans supported the current system, while nearly half of the others polled opposed it. The rest of the survey-takers remained neutral about the topic.
But there are efforts to lock the clock so Americans can press snooze (for good) on the ongoing “spring forward” and “fall back” rules, which disrupt sleep schedules from coast to coast twice a year.
History
Daylight saving has been a controversial topic for over a decade in the United States.
In the late 1800s, railroads used different time zones. Then, in the 1940s, President Franklin D. Roosevelt turned the entire nation’s clocks an hour ahead to save energy for World War II, and after that, in the 1960s, the Uniform Time Act of 1966 established a uniform Daylight Saving Time across most of America.
Every year, daylight saving time starts on the second Sunday in March for “spring forward” and ends on the first Sunday in November for “fall back.”
