INDIANA – It’s almost time for clocks to “spring forward” one hour.
On Sunday, March 12, at 2 a.m., clocks in most of the United States and many other countries move forward one hour and stay there for nearly eight months for Daylight Saving Time.
On the first Sunday of November, at 2 a.m., clocks fall back an hour to standard time.
The United States began following Daylight Saving Time in 2007, but the concept of “saving daylight” is much older. Daylight Saving Time has its roots in train schedules, but it was put into practice in Europe and the United States to save fuel and power during World War I, according to the US Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
US states are not required by law to “fall back” or “spring forward.” Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe Daylight Saving Time.
it doesn’t look like Daylight Saving Time in the US is going away anytime soon.
