The change to daylight saving time is less than two weeks away and, if polling is correct, that’s good news for most people.

Daylight saving time officially begins on Sunday, March 10 at 2 a.m. when we will “spring forward” our clocks ahead by one hour, shifting more light into the evening hours. It will last until Sunday, Nov. 3 at 2 a.m. when we “fall back” for standard time.

The pattern repeats every year, with DST starting the second Sunday in March and continuing through the first Sunday in November.

Most prefer DST

If people had to choose, more would choose daylight saving time over standard time, according to a 2022 poll.

The poll by CBS News and YouGov showed 46% would prefer DST all year around, compared to 33% who would choose standard time. Only 21% liked the current method of switching back and forth.

For those who preferred DST, the most common reason cited (54%) was they were in a better mood followed by 48% who said they were more productive during the day. Forty-percent said they thought pushing more light into the evening hours saved energy.

For those who preferred standard time, 49% said it was more in line with humans’ biological rhythms and 42% said people would sleep better during standard time. Thirty-four percent of those polled said they were more productive earlier in the day.

By region, 51% in the Midwest said they prefer DST, compared to 46% of the South, 45% in the Northeast and 40% in the West.

This CBS News/YouGov survey was conducted with a nationally representative sample of 1,612 U.S. adult residents interviewed between March 29-31, 2022.
