Daylight Saving Time Ends This Weekend: Don’t Forget to Set Your Clocks Back

Park Hills, Mo. (KFMO) - Daylight Saving Time officially ends this weekend, so remember to set your clocks back one hour before you head to bed on Saturday, November 2. The change takes effect at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 3, signaling the start of Standard Time across most of the country. 

As we “fall back,” the time change provides an extra hour of sleep, which can help people feel refreshed. However, the shift also means that evening darkness will arrive earlier, with sunset moving up by an hour.

Along with adjusting clocks, officials also recommend taking this opportunity to check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure they're in working order, a good safety practice ahead of the winter season. 

Daylight Saving Time is set to resume in March 2025, but discussions about making it permanent continue in some states and at the federal level.
