On Sunday, we spring forward for Daylight Saving time.
With the exception of Arizona and Hawaii, every state will change its clocks an hour ahead at 2am on Sunday.
The reason for daylight saving time is to shift an hour of daylight form the morning to evening. Governments implemented daylight saving time as a measure to conserve energy. While Americans conserve some energy in the evening with more daylight, research has found that the benefit is negated by increased energy usage in the morning.
There have been attempts to make daylight saving time the new standard time. Nearly half of all states, including Colorado, have passed measures to remain on daylight saving time all year. However, an act of Congress is needed for states to make the move.
