We’re about to get back the hour we lost in March: Daylight saving time (DST) ends this Sunday morning at 2. Here’s what Hoosiers need to know.

The time will “fall back” Sunday morning, returning to Standard Time. This means there will be more light in the mornings. Daylight saving begins the second Sunday in March, meaning the next time change will begin on March 10, 2024.

The history of daylight saving dates back to 1918 during World War I with the Standard Time Act. This also created the time zones we use today.

Not all states observe daylight saving. DST was implemented statewide in 2006 and has since been widely debated.

The Sunshine Protection Act, which would make DST permanent, was passed by the senate last year but stalled out in the house of representatives. A new bill was introduced in 2023 but has remained idle.
