Daylight saving time begins this Sunday, March 8, 2026, at 2 a.m. local time. Most Americans will set their clocks forward an hour, losing an hour of sleep as morning light shifts to evenings. The change means later sunrises and sunsets, with sunrise in Boston jumping from 6:09 a.m. to 7:08 a.m. and sunset moving from 5:41 p.m. to 6:42 p.m. The shift happens ahead of the spring equinox on March 20. While the practice aims to conserve energy, studies show minimal savings and many people struggle with the lost hour, facing grogginess and health issues. Hawaii, Arizona, and several U.S. territories opt out, except the Navajo Nation. Daylight saving time ends on the first Sunday of November, November 1 this year, when clocks fall back at 2 a.m. The practice persists despite debates, keeping evenings brighter for months.
