Spring Ahead: Embrace the Longer Days of Daylight Saving Time


As winter starts to fade and spring draws near, it's time to "spring forward"! This weekend, on **Sunday, March 9, 2025**, at **2:00 a.m.**, clocks across much of the world will jump ahead by one hour to mark the start of Daylight Saving Time. While this shift costs us an hour of sleep, it rewards us with extended daylight in the evenings—a small sacrifice for brighter, longer days.

The extra evening sunlight brings opportunities to spend more time outdoors, from leisurely strolls to backyard barbecues. This change in routine can also boost your mood and energy levels as you shake off winter's shorter, darker days. However, don't forget to prepare for the time adjustment. Going to bed a little earlier on Saturday night might help ease the transition.

Daylight Saving Time is more than a clock adjustment; it's a reminder that spring is on its way. So, get ready to embrace the light and make the most of those brighter evenings ahead!
