Ridgewood NJ, Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a practice of setting the clocks forward by one hour during the warmer months of the year, typically from spring to autumn, in order to make better use of daylight in the evening. This adjustment effectively shifts an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening, providing longer daylight hours during the time when people are typically awake and active.

Daylight saving time: why we ‘spring forward’ earlier this year

Daylight saving time: why we ‘spring forward’ earlier this year
Daylight saving time starts on the second Sunday of March and has since 2007. The goal of moving daylight saving time forward is partly to save energy, but that hasn’t happened. 


By Andrew Mach, Contributor / March 9, 2012

This Sunday people in most states will switch ahead their clocks and lose an hour as daylight saving time begins in the US.

If this season’s “spring forward” seems a bit earlier than usual, that’s because it is – but only by a few days, at least compared with recent years. (Last year, we switched our clocks ahead on March 13, and in 2010 it was March 14, for instance.) It was in 2007, however, when the beginning of daylight saving time jumped ahead by two full weeks.

That was due to the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which extended the entire period of daylight saving time by four weeks from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. Before 2007, daylight saving time began at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in April and ended at 2 a.m. on the last Sunday the following October.
