Get ready for an earlier sunrise -- and afternoon commutes in the dark.

Daylight saving time ends Sunday.

This is the case even in Oregon and Washington state, each of which recently passed legislation to maintain daylight saving time year-round. Before the Pacific Northwest can make the permanent switch, the federal government must give the states waivers.

The Oregon legislation also states that California must also go all-in for daylight saving time before the law goes into effect. California has yet to pass legislation for year-round daylight saving time.

While the U.S. government hasn’t made a decision on letting Oregon and Washington state choose their own temporal fate, there is a budding movement in Congress to follow the Northwest’s lead with a federal law.

Right now, only Hawaii and most of Arizona won’t put their clocks back on Sunday. Those two states rejected daylight saving time when it became standardized in the rest of the country more than 50 years ago.
