Editing Daylight Savings Spring Forward (section)

=== How Daylight Saving Time Works ===
Daylight Saving Time is a simple concept: during the spring, clocks are set forward by one hour, and in the fall, clocks are set back by one hour. This adjustment is typically made in the early morning hours to minimize disruption. In most countries that observe DST, clocks are moved forward at 2:00 AM, which becomes 3:00 AM. This means that on the day of the switch, we lose one hour of sleep but gain an extra hour of daylight in the evening.

In the United States, the start of DST occurs on the second Sunday in March. This marks the "spring forward" moment, and the clocks remain one hour ahead until the first Sunday in November when we "fall back." Many other countries, particularly in Europe, follow a similar schedule, although some countries, such as Japan, India, and China, do not observe DST at all.
