Daylight Savings Time California 2025. We fall back to standard time on sunday morning and here's your reminder that sleep experts want to keep it that way and california voters just want the clocks to stop. In the wee hours of sunday morning, californians (and most of the country) will have to move their clocks one hour forward, starting eight months of daylight saving time.

On the second sunday in march, we set our clocks forward 1 hour, beginning daylight saving time. States that support permanent daylight saving time, like ohio, say the extra daylight helps reduce crime, car accidents and energy consumption, while allowing more time for outdoor play.
