Daylight Saving Time Ends on November 3, 2024

Americans will set their clocks back one hour, marking the shift to standard time with earlier sunsets and lighter mornings.

  • Daylight saving time will officially end at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 3, when clocks are set back one hour.
  • Most U.S. states observe this change, though Arizona and Hawaii remain on standard time year-round.
  • The practice originally aimed to conserve energy during World War I and was standardized in 1966 under the Uniform Time Act.
  • Critics argue that the time change disrupts sleep patterns and daily routines, with some advocating for permanent standard time.
  • Automatic devices like phones will adjust the time on their own, but manual clocks should be set back before going to bed on November 2.
