Yes, this does mean that you will lose an hour of sleep starting Sunday.
Clocks will spring forward Sunday as America marches toward the days of warmer weather, so people should be aware of a few things to make sure they have the right time.
Daylight saving time kicks off in early March, and when the clock strikes 2 a.m. on Sunday, the time moves forward to 3 a.m. for most of the country. People who use their cellphone to tell time shouldn't have to do anything beforehand, as the change should occur automatically. But those who rely on an alarm clock's wake-up call should set the time forward one hour before going to bed.
For those looking for clarification on sleep time: Yes, you do lose an hour of sleep. On the plus side, though, you can an extra hour of daylight. However, not everyone will see their clocks change. People in Arizona, excluding those within the Navajo Nation, don't observe daylight saving time, and Hawaii does not either. Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa and the U.S. Virgin Islands also don't change their clocks twice a year.
The clock on the City Hall of Tours in central France. On Sunday, daylight saving time will begin in the U.S., and clocks will spring forward one hour.Some people think daylight saving time was intended to help farmers by giving them an extra hour of light, but it's actually rooted in energy conservation. With the sun setting an hour later in the evening, people need one less hour of electricity for lights in their home, according to the Department of Transportation.
