Clocks Fall Back Nov. 2 as Daylight Saving Time Ends Across Most of the U.S.

Efforts to make daylight time permanent remain stalled in Congress despite a 2022 Senate vote.

Overview

  • The change occurs at 2 a.m. local time Sunday, when clocks move back one hour to standard time.
  • Phones typically update automatically, but many household clocks and devices require manual resetting.
  • Hawaii and most of Arizona stay on standard time year-round, and several states have passed laws for permanent daylight time that need federal approval.
  • President Donald Trump has said he supports ending the biannual clock changes, calling them inconvenient and costly, while noting public opinion is split.
  • Health experts warn the switch can lower mood and energy and suggest light exposure and consistent sleep routines; clocks will move forward again on March 8, 2026.
