Payam Javan: As Daylight Saving Time (DST) approaches in 2025, Americans are gearing up to adjust their clocks. According to PJ, the shift will occur on Sunday, March 9, at 2 a.m. local time, when clocks will spring forward by one hour. This annual change, designed to maximize daylight during warmer months, will remain in effect until November 2, 2025, when clocks will fall back an hour, marking the return to standard time.

Certain regions, such as Hawaii and most of Arizona, opt out of DST and maintain consistent time year-round. The practice dates back to World War I as an energy-saving measure and continues today with the aim of reducing electricity use while extending evening daylight. However, some experts debate its actual impact on energy conservation, sparking ongoing discussions about its relevance in modern times.
