Daylight Saving Time returns March 8
The dark
days of winter are almost over. Ready for spring? The clock-makers are! Daylight-saving time begins this weekend, at 2 a.m.
on March 8, 2015.
In the annual ritual, most of the United States (and 70 countries around the
world) lose an hour of sleep to gain a hour of daylight in the evening.
The
switch always occurs on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November, which means it’s back to
Standard Time on Nov. 1.
