U.S. DST shifts occur at 2 AM local time to minimize disruption—most people are asleep and financial markets are closed.

Most devices adjust automatically; analog clocks and watches must be reset manually at 2 AM.

If you’re in the air during the switch, set your watch to EDT/GMT on arrival and follow our tips.
