Alaska Gains Daylight, Losing Sleep

0:00In Anchorage today, March 7th. Daylight Saving Time kicks off his weekend in Alaska, with clock springing forward one hour on March 8th at 2am. This shift means we'll lose an hour of sleep, but gain more evening light as days start to lengthen. Right now in Anchorage, the Sun rises around 7.40am and sets at 6.40pm. After the change, expect Sunrise at 8.37am, and Sun set around 7.44pm, pushing morning light later while evening stretch out. Alaskans are just getting used to more daylight after dark winter months, but this tweak will make mornings feel shorter for a couple weeks, until the Sun catches up to its pre-changed timing. It only takes two to three weeks for Sunrise times to match what they were before the switch, helping folks adjust to the new rhythm. Meanwhile, the Vernal Equinox arrives on March 20th, kicking off astronomical spring, with nearly 12 hours and 30 minutes of daylight, across most of the state, and even more to come, each day.
