Daylight Saving Time 2025 – When to Set Your Clocks Forward
Alright, folks, it’s that time of year again—daylight saving time (DST) is right around the corner! Mark your calendars because on Sunday, March 9, 2025, at 2 a.m. local time , we’ll be “springing forward.” Yes, we do lose an hour of sleep, but on the bright side, we get to enjoy longer daylight hours in the evening!

If you’re someone who still uses manual clocks, make sure to set them one hour ahead before you go to bed on Saturday, March 8 . But don’t worry—most smartphones, smartwatches, and digital devices will adjust automatically. Still, it never hurts to double-check when you wake up!
So, why do we even do this? The idea behind daylight saving time is to make better use of natural daylight during the warmer months. By shifting the clock forward in March, we get extended daylight in the evenings, making those spring and summer days feel even longer. Come November, we “fall back” to standard time, allowing for brighter mornings.
That being said, not everyone follows DST . If you live in Yukon, most of Saskatchewan, or certain areas in Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia , you can ignore this reminder because your clocks stay the same all year round!
Of course, there’s always debate about whether DST should still exist. Historically, it was introduced to save energy —back when workplaces relied on incandescent lights. But with today’s energy-efficient technology, some experts argue that the benefits of DST aren’t as significant anymore. In fact, studies suggest that the time change can negatively impact our sleep patterns, leading to potential health risks like fatigue and even an increased risk of heart-related issues.
Whether you love it or hate it, DST is happening, so don’t get caught off guard! Make sure to set your clocks forward and enjoy those longer, brighter evenings.
