Californians will experience an hour of lost sleep when daylight saving time begins on March 9. This seasonal shift will result in later sunrises and extended daylight in the evenings. Sunrise will occur at 7:25 a.m. and sunset at 7:07 p.m. in Sacramento on the first day of the change. This practice, initially adopted for energy conservation, was first implemented in Canada in 1908 and gained popularity internationally during World War I. The cycle will continue until recurring in November when clocks revert to standard time.
Daylight saving time, observed in the U.S. from the second Sunday in March until the first Sunday in November, will begin on March 9, 2023.
Transitioning to daylight saving time impacts sunrise and sunset times, with California experiencing longer evening daylight but losing an hour of sleep.
The concept of daylight saving time originated in 1908 in Canada and became widespread after Germany adopted it during World War I.
Clocks will shift forward one hour at 2 a.m. on March 9, allowing Californians more sunshine entering the evening.
