Ready for an extra hour of sleep? Here's when daylight saving time ends in 2024

Daylight saving time is coming to an end soon, which means it's almost time to set our clocks back and gain an extra hour of sleep.

Daylight saving time (DST) is a practice of advancing clocks during summer months so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less. This practice was first adopted in the United States in 1918 as a way to conserve energy during World War I.

In the United States, daylight saving time begins on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November.

This year, daylight saving time will end on Sunday, November 3, 2024, at 2:00 AM. At that time, clocks will be set back one hour, to 1:00 AM.

Daylight saving time is a controversial practice, with some people arguing that it disrupts sleep patterns and increases the risk of accidents.

However, others argue that DST saves energy and reduces crime. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to observe daylight saving time is up to each individual state.

Here are some tips for adjusting to the end of daylight saving time:

• Start going to bed and waking up earlier in the days leading up to the time change.
• Get plenty of sunlight during the day to help regulate your body's natural sleep-wake cycle.
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed, as these substances can interfere with sleep.
• Create a relaxing bedtime routine to help you wind down before bed.
• If you have trouble sleeping, talk to your doctor.
