This Sunday, March 9, 2024, at 2:00 AM, clocks will jump forward one hour, marking the start of Daylight Saving Time (DST). While this shift gives us longer daylight in the evening, it also means losing an hour of sleep—something that can disrupt your routine.
Most of the U.S. and Canada observe DST, except for states like Hawaii and most of Arizona. The sudden time change can affect sleep, mood, and productivity, so experts recommend adjusting your schedule gradually.
To minimize the impact, try going to bed earlier, exposing yourself to morning sunlight, and staying hydrated. DST will start Sunday and last until Nov. 2. Standard time will have been in effect from Nov. 3, 2024, until Sunday.
