00:02:00 Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the United States began on Sunday, March 8, 2026, at 2:00 AM local time, when clocks were set forward by one hour. This change is observed in most U.S. states, except for Hawaii and most of Arizona, which do not participate in DST. The transition to DST results in later sunsets and more evening daylight, which many people appreciate for extended outdoor activities. However, the shift can also disrupt sleep patterns and has been associated with short-term health risks, such as an increased incidence of heart attacks and strokes in the days following the change. The debate over the benefits and drawbacks of DST continues, with discussions about making it permanent or abolishing it altogether. As of now, no significant legislative changes have been implemented, so the biannual clock changes remain in effect.
