Spring forward is the term used to describe the annual practice of advancing clocks by one hour to mark the beginning of daylight saving time. This occurs in many countries around the world, including the United States. In 2025, spring forward will take place on Sunday, March 9th at 2:00 AM local time.
The purpose of spring forward is to make better use of daylight during the spring and summer months. By moving clocks forward one hour, people can enjoy more daylight in the evenings, which can lead to increased outdoor activity and energy savings. However, spring forward can also have some negative effects, such as disrupted sleep patterns and increased traffic accidents.
