If you’re tired of dark afternoons, hang on. Relief is on the way.
Daylight saving time in 2022 begins at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 13, shifting more daylight into the evening hours as we “spring forward.”
Most people will reset their clocks forward one hour – assuming your digital device doesn’t handle it for you – before going to bed on Saturday night, March 12th.
We won’t “fall back” – set our clocks back to standard time – until Sunday, Nov. 6.
The twice-a-year ritual of changing the clocks back and forth dates back to World War I as the U.S. looked to conserve energy to assist the war effort. The practice wasn’t made permanent in the U.S. until 1973, when President Richard Nixon signed the Emergency Daylight Saving Time Energy Conservation Act. In 2005, the Uniform Time Act tweaked that schedule by setting the start of daylight saving time to the second Sunday of March and the end on the first Sunday of November, lengthening the duration of DST.
In recent years, there has been pushback against the time change.
U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Alabama, recently signed-on as a co-sponsor to the Sunshine Protection Act. The act, first introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, would make daylight saving time permanent.
