Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, March 12 at 2:00 a.m.
At that time, clocks should be set one hour ahead of standard time to make use of more sunlight in the spring, summer and fall evenings.
As a result, sunrise and sunset will be about one hour later.
The practice of Daylight Saving Time became a national standard in 1966 when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Uniform Time Act as a way to continue to conserve energy.
U.S. lawmakers are pushing to eliminate seasonal clocks. Last year, the Sunshine Protection Act was unanimously passed by the Senate. However, the bill stalled in the House.
Proponents of the legislation say permanent Daylight Saving Time would reduce crime, encourage kids to play outside and lower the risk of heart attacks and car accidents.
Daylight Saving Time will remain in effect until November 5.
