Springing forward is the practice of moving clocks forward one hour to observe daylight saving time (DST). In the United States, DST begins at 2:00 AM on the second Sunday of March and ends at 2:00 AM on the first Sunday of November.
The main benefit of DST is that it makes better use of daylight hours. By moving clocks forward one hour, we are able to enjoy more sunlight in the evenings, which can lead to increased outdoor activity and energy savings. Additionally, DST has been shown to have a positive impact on the economy, as it can boost tourism and retail sales.
