Overview
- Most states set clocks back one hour at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 2, 2025, marking the end of Daylight Saving Time.
- Phones and most digital devices update automatically, but analog clocks, appliance displays, and car dashboards typically need a manual change on Saturday night.
- Hawaii, most of Arizona, and U.S. territories including Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands remain on standard time year-round.
- Texas has passed House Bill 1393 to adopt permanent daylight time, but the change cannot take effect without federal authorization.
- An AP-NORC survey finds 56% would choose permanent daylight time, while health groups cite short-term risks from clock shifts and research suggests standard time aligns slightly better with human circadian rhythms; gradual bedtime adjustments and morning light exposure can ease the transition, with smart-home routines offering added help.
