This weekend, on Sunday, November 5th, at midnight, it’s time to fall back as daylight saving time comes to a close. That means an extra hour of sleep and brighter mornings with sunrise and sunset times adjusting an hour earlier.
The next time change is set for March 10th, 2024, when we’ll “spring forward” by setting our clocks an hour ahead at 2 a.m. This change will lead to an hour less sleep but longer daylight in the evenings as sunset times shift later.
Daylight saving time in the United States follows federal law, starting on the second Sunday in March and ending on the first Sunday in November.
The tradition of daylight saving time dates back to 1918 during World War I, aimed at conserving fuel resources by reallocating electricity for military purposes.
