Spring Ahead March 8, 2026

We lose an hour this weekend. Don't forget to set your clocks ahead one hour at bedtime Saturday night or you'll be late for any Sunday morning plans.

Wish I didn't have to do that. I want Standard Time all of the time.

@SilleeMee, I totally agree. I prefer standard time year-round.

Springing ahead puts us that much closer to summer - - my least favorite season of the year! Argh.

give me DST!! I love the light. Standard is Ok for the few months it runs, but too depressing, dark, dismal. I barely get going at 4pm and it's dark. lol. I imagine for early to bed, early to rise people it can be hard though. Saves on electricity here though.

I do not like losing sleep time and I do not like the daylight being longer. The loud lawn mowers start up , noise increases when you are trying to have some peace and quiet. I like the shorter days, they do not stop me from any activities or enjoyment I have.

I agree. Since we don't change times shows are on 3 hours earlier instead of 2.

It takes my system at three days those two times a year when the clock changes. Uggg!

@Shanus It never used to be a problem but now it takes me awhile too.

@Shanus and @JeanLouiseFinch - It always amazes me how 1 hour can make such a difference. One wouldn't think 1 hour would do that but it does!

Thank you. I haven't given a thought about this so I just set an alarm to remind me Saturday night.

More daylight 👍

I fed my sweet girl a little earlier today and she was all happy! The look on her face was 'Yay! mom's feeding me already!'😃

This should be illegal. I'm fortunate that it doesn't bother me like it does so many.

We live on standard time year-round. I don't know why standard time doesn't just become standard (pardon the pun). I like that sunrise/sunset is gradual year round. I just have to get used to the TSV coming on at 6:00 pm instead of 7:00 pm.

@shoekitty - clocks get changed at bedtime Saturday night as the new time takes effect during the wee hours of Sunday morning.
