Time Until Next Change
Technology and Time Changes in 2025
Modern devices handle DST transitions automatically, but some systems still require manual updates. In 2025, ensure your smart home devices, car navigation systems, and older electronics are properly configured. Many IoT devices now use internet time servers for automatic updates, reducing the burden on users in Louisiana.
IT departments should be particularly vigilant about server time synchronization, especially for systems handling financial transactions or time-sensitive operations.
Preparation Tips
✓ Update your car clock, microwave, and other manual clocks that don't auto-update.
✓ Gradually adjust your sleep schedule a few days before the time change to minimize disruption.
✓ Be extra cautious driving the Monday after the spring time change - accident rates increase.
✓ Set your clocks before going to bed to avoid confusion in the morning.
