It’s that time of year to "spring forward." On Sunday, March 9, 2025 at 2:00 a.m., daylight saving time kicks in, and the extra hour we enjoyed last November will disappear.
Set your clocks one hour ahead before heading to bed on Saturday night.
Although most states observe this change, Arizona opts out—with the exception of the Navajo Nation—and Hawaii also does not participate.
Thanks to modern technology—such as computers, smartphones, and tablets—many devices will automatically adjust for daylight saving time at 2:00 a.m. However, you’ll still need to update some clocks and watches manually.
Even though the twice-yearly time change isn’t popular with everyone, it provides roughly 7.5 months of daylight saving time and 4.5 months of standard time in the United States.
Additionally, fire departments across the country recommend using this opportunity to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors, which should be tested monthly.
On November 2, 2025 at 2:00 a.m., clocks will revert to standard time, allowing you to gain back the extra hour of sleep.

Help us defend tribal sovereignty.
At Native News Online, our mission is rooted in telling the stories that strengthen sovereignty and uplift Indigenous voices — not just at year’s end, but every single day.
Because of your generosity last year, we were able to keep our reporters on the ground in tribal communities, at national gatherings and in the halls of Congress — covering the issues that matter most to Indian Country: sovereignty, culture, education, health and economic opportunity.
That support sustained us through a tough year in 2025. Now, as we look to the year ahead, we need your help right now to ensure warrior journalism remains strong — reporting that defends tribal sovereignty, amplifies Native truth, and holds power accountable.
The stakes couldn't be higher. Your support keeps Native voices heard, Native stories told and Native sovereignty defended.
Stand with Warrior Journalism today.
