Daylight Saving Time Ends - Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025

Date
Sunday, November 2, 2025

Time
2:00 am local time (set clocks back one hour)

Details: Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 2:00 am local time, when clocks are set back one hour. This shift, often called "falling back," gives everyone an extra hour of sleep and more daylight in the morning, though it also means earlier sunsets in the evening.

Tip: Set your clocks back one hour before going to bed on Saturday night to stay on schedule.

Background: DST was first introduced in the United States in 1918 during World War I to help conserve energy. While often linked to Benjamin Franklin, his idea focused more on adjusting daily habits to save candles, not resetting clocks. Farmers opposed DST because it disrupted work routines tied to sunlight. Although DST is now widely observed, it wasn’t standardized nationwide until decades later.
