Daylight saving time ends November 2, 2025, clocks fall back across US and Europe

Daylight saving time ended in the United States on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 2 a.m., when clocks were set back one hour to 1 a.m., granting most people an extra hour of sleep. This seasonal change results in earlier sunrises and earlier nightfall, impacting daily schedules. The practice of daylight saving time began during World War I in Germany to conserve energy and was later adopted by the U.S. under the Uniform Time Act of 1966. Not all U.S. states and territories observe daylight saving time; Hawaii, Arizona (except Navajo Nation), and several territories do not change their clocks. Residents are reminded to adjust manual clocks and use this occasion to check safety devices like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The next daylight saving time will begin on March 8, 2026, when clocks "spring forward" again.
