  • Daylight Savings time?

  • 2020.

  • When should you change your clocks?

  • Remember to spring forward and fall back.

  • Not all areas of the U.

  • S changed their clocks, but the majority of the United States will move their clocks forward an hour on Sunday, March 8th 2020 for daylight savings time.

  • This officially happens at 2 a.m. While most people are sleeping, moving the clock forward to 3 a.m. On March 8th 2020 then they will move their clocks back an hour to return to standard time on Sunday, November 1 2020.

  • This also happens at 2 a.m. By moving the clock back to 1 a.m. on November 1st 2020.

  • Oddly enough, our modern technology means that fewer and fewer people in the United States even realize that daylight savings time has started or ended when they wake up Sunday morning, they're digital appliances such as phones, computers, laptops, televisions, et cetera have automatically changed unless you still have an old style wall clock.

  • Most people don't have to manually adjust anything, however you might notice at the spring time change, because when the morning alarm wakes you up you've lost an hour of sleep and you might be tired all day.

  • Fortunately, at the fall time change, you get to sleep an extra hour, so your bouncy and refreshed all day.

  • The state of Hawaii does not observe daylight savings, so it remains on standard time all year.

  • This makes sense because Hawaii is separated from the continental United States by a considerable distance out in the Pacific Ocean.

  • Also, none of the outlying U.

  • S territories changed their clocks, either.

  • This includes American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and other U. 00:02:58.200 --> 00:03:0.520 S minor outlying islands. 00:03:3.150 --> 00:03:5.580 Only one state in the continental U. 00:03:5.580 --> 00:03:6.140 S. 00:03:6.740 --> 00:03:12.660 Treats daylight savings time in an odd way that is Arizona.

  • The portion of the northeast corner of Arizona that comprises the Navajo Nation does observe daylight savings.

  • But the hope I nation in that same region of the state does not change their clocks.

  • Nor does the remainder of Arizona.

  • This can cause a great deal of confusion.

  • The reality is that they stay on mountain standard time all year.

  • But because they do not move their clocks forward for the summer months, they seem to be on the same clock.
