Michiganders can say good-bye to winter blues and start to enjoy that little bit of extra sunshine in the evening with the annual return to Daylight Saving Time early Sunday.

Here’s what to about Daylight Saving, and whether President Donald Trump will end the longtime practice as he has suggested.

When do clocks spring forward?

We will spring forward one hour at 2 a.m. Sunday. Many people save time by setting their clocks ahead one hour before going to bed Saturday night.

Do we lose or gain an hour?

As clocks turn forward, we lose an hour of sleep at 2 a.m. Sunday when Daylight Saving Time begins.

Do I need to adjust my clock, phone, computer?

Smartphones, computers and smart watches will automatically adjust to the time change.

If you have appliance clocks, old-fashioned clocks or analog watches, remember to adjust those manually.

What time will the sun rise Sunday morning, March 9?

The sun will rise at 7:58 a.m. Sunday morning and set at 7:39 p.m. in Lansing. In Sault Ste. Marie, in the UP, the sun rises 1 minute later and sets at 7:36 p.m., according to the Old Farmers Almanac.

Daylight saving or savings?

While it is often referred to as Daylight Savings Time, Daylight Saving Time without the “s” at the end is the correct term.

Is Daylight Saving Time ending?

In December, then-President-elect Donald Trump said he aims to put an end to the law and make standard time the law year-round.

However since resuming office for his second term in January, the president has not issued any executive orders on the issue.

Recently Trump adviser Elon Musk has renewed the debate with comments on X.

A new Sunshine Protection Act was introduced into Congress on Jan. 3. It would make daylight saving time permanent. States with areas exempt from daylight saving time could choose the standard time for those areas. Supporters of the bill call their proposal “locking the clock.”

What is Daylight Saving Time?

Daylight Saving Time is when “daylight” begins an hour later in the morning and lasts an hour longer in the evening, according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

The clock change allows the hour of daylight to stay coordinated with the time most people are active outside. Daylight saving time is supposed to save energy, since during the warmer months the majority of people will be outside and not home, which saves energy.

When does Daylight Saving Time end in 2025?

Daylight Saving Time ends on Nov. 3, the first Sunday of November.

When is the shortest day of the year in 2025?

The shortest day of the year is the winter solstice, the first day of winter. This year, it will fall on Dec. 21, 2025.
