Daylight saving time does not apply here

As many Arizonans wake up this morning and grab their coffee and newspaper, they won’t feel any effects of a time change.

That’s not the case for a majority of the United States that takes part in daylight saving time as they’ll gain an hour of sleep when they turn their clocks back an hour at 2 a.m.

But still, it's good to remember that our out-of-state friends and family are ushering out daylight saving time across most of the United States and welcome back standard time.

The shift means it’s lighter earlier in the morning for them, and darkness on the edge of town comes sooner in the evening.

At 2 a.m. local time Sunday, daylight saving time ended, and standard time returned for most people. It means an extra hour of sleep, perchance to dream, for one night.

Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and most of Arizona don’t observe daylight saving time, so no need to change the clocks in those places.

Daylight saving time returns at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, March 10, 2019.
