(NEXSTAR) – As we wrap up January 2026, a number of states are eager to make this the year they put an end to the ritual of adjusting clocks for daylight saving time.

In just a few weeks, your clocks will “spring forward” on the earliest possible date, resulting in a lost hour of sleep, but in return, you’ll enjoy longer daylight as the sun sets later.

Although state legislative sessions are just getting underway, lawmakers in 15 states have already introduced at least one bill aiming to abolish this bi-annual clock-changing practice.
