When Does Daylight Saving Time End and How to Adjust?

Daylight saving time (DST) ends in the US on November 2, 2025, and in the UK on October 26, 2025. Experts recommend returning to standard time for better health, as DST disrupts circadian rhythms, increases health risks, and offers no energy-saving benefits. To adapt, gradually shift sleep schedules, get morning sunlight, and maintain consistent sleep routines. The debate over DST's future continues, with many advocating for permanent standard time due to health concerns.

Daylight Saving Time Ends Sunday: What You Need to Know

Daylight saving time ends this Sunday in the US, with clocks falling back an hour at 1 a.m., leading to earlier sunsets and darker evenings until spring. Most of the US observes this change, except Hawaii, most of Arizona, and US territories. The practice, established in 1918, aims to extend daylight hours in summer but has faced debates and legislative efforts to make daylight saving time permanent. Experts have mixed opinions on the health impacts of the time change.

The Ongoing Debate: Ending Daylight Saving Time

As daylight saving time ends, efforts to make it permanent in the U.S. remain stalled. Many states have proposed legislation to stop the bi-annual clock changes, preferring to stay on daylight saving time year-round, but federal approval is required. Senator Marco Rubio's Sunshine Protection Act, which aims to enact permanent daylight saving time, has bipartisan support but remains in committee. Health experts argue that permanent standard time is better for health due to increased morning daylight, which aligns with our natural circadian rhythms.

Prepare for Daylight Saving Time's End: Tips and Timing

Daylight saving time ends on November 3, with clocks set back an hour, marking the transition to standard time in the U.S. This practice, aimed at extending daylight during summer, has been in place since 1918 but remains controversial. While some states and countries do not observe it, efforts to make daylight saving time permanent, like the Sunshine Protection Act, have stalled in Congress. Health experts express concerns about permanent daylight saving time due to potential misalignment with solar time, which could impact sleep and health.

"Why Do We Still Change Our Clocks for Daylight Saving Time in 2024?"

As daylight saving time approaches, the debate over whether to make the time change permanent or eliminate it altogether continues. While some experts advocate for permanent standard time due to its alignment with our body's natural clock and potential health benefits, others argue that daylight saving time saves energy, prevents traffic injuries, and reduces crime. If daylight saving time were permanent, it would result in later sunsets and darker mornings during the winter months, raising safety concerns for morning commuters and school children.

Oregon Senators Divided Over Permanent Standard Time Bill

Oregon senators were evenly split on the question of whether to move the state to permanent standard time, with concerns raised about potential chaos at the border with neighboring states. The bill will be reconsidered after new language is added, and a "trigger" clause may be included to restrict Oregon from officially ending daylight saving time until neighboring states do as well. Regardless of the outcome, this year's daylight saving time begins on March 10.

The Oregon Senate committee has passed a bill to end the state's observance of Daylight Saving Time, allowing Oregonians in the Pacific Time Zone to use standard time throughout the year.

"Countdown to the End: Daylight Saving Time 2023 Approaches"

Daylight saving time in 2023 will end at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 5, when clocks will "fall back" one hour. This means darker evenings and lighter mornings under standard time throughout the winter months. Efforts to end the practice include proposals for permanent daylight saving time, permanent standard time, or pushing Pennsylvania into another time zone. Several states have enacted measures for permanent daylight saving time, but an act of Congress is required for the change. In Pennsylvania, various bills have been proposed, including permanent daylight saving time and putting the state in Atlantic Standard Time. Daylight saving time in 2024 will start on March 10 and end on November 3.
