Daylight Saving Time Begins Across US, Clocks Move Ahead One Hour

News summary

Daylight Saving Time (DST) began on March 9, 2025, when clocks were set forward one hour, resulting in longer evenings and shorter mornings. While this practice aims to make better use of daylight, it can disrupt sleep patterns and has been linked to increased health risks, including heart attacks and strokes. Experts recommend gradually adjusting sleep schedules and increasing exposure to morning sunlight to mitigate negative health effects. Some regions, like Hawaii and most of Arizona, do not observe DST, and discussions are ongoing in places like Ontario about making DST permanent. Research indicates that maintaining standard time year-round may better align with human circadian rhythms, promoting overall health and well-being. The origins of DST are debated, with contributions from historical figures such as Benjamin Franklin, but it was officially adopted during World War I to conserve energy.
