Daylight Saving Time Is Almost Over. Here's When It Ends

What is Daylight Saving Time?

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a practice of advancing clocks during warmer months so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less.

This is done by moving the clock forward one hour in the spring and back one hour in the fall.

In the United States, Daylight Saving Time ends on the first Sunday in November.

In 2023, this will be on Sunday, November 5th.

At 2:00 AM on the day that Daylight Saving Time ends, clocks are turned back one hour to 1:00 AM.

Daylight Saving Time was first implemented in the United States during World War I as a way to conserve energy.

The idea was that by moving the clocks forward in the spring, people would use less artificial light in the evenings.

There is some debate over whether Daylight Saving Time is actually effective in conserving energy.

Some studies have shown that it does lead to a small reduction in energy use, while other studies have found no effect.
