In less than a month, most Americans will lose an hour of sleep as clocks will shift ahead by one hour.

Daylight saving time will begin, delaying the moment day becomes night more than four months after it concluded in November.

Though twice-annual time change has been practiced since daylight saving time’s adoption in 1918, many Americans have long grown frustrated with the constant time shifts. Lawmakers have made strides to put an end to the clock changes by trying to make daylight saving time permanent, or by promising to remove it all together.
In 2022, the U.S. Senate unanimously approved the Sunshine Protection Act that would make daylight saving time permanent, however the U.S. House of Representatives did not pass it and former President Joe Biden did not sign it.

Before taking office, President Donald Trump said in December that he aims to put an end to daylight saving time and make standard time year-round.
“The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t!” Trump wrote in a Dec. 13 Truth Social post. “Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation.”
