Daylight Saving Time: When Does it End and What to Know About 'Falling Back'

What is Daylight Saving Time (DST)?

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

Many countries observe DST, but the exact dates vary by region and year. In the United States, DST begins on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November.

When Does Daylight Saving Time End in 2023?

In 2023, Daylight Saving Time will end on Sunday, November 5th at 2:00 AM local time.

At that time, clocks will be turned back one hour, meaning that sunrise and sunset will occur one hour earlier the following day.

What to Know About 'Falling Back'

The end of Daylight Saving Time is often referred to as "falling back" because clocks are turned back one hour.

This can lead to some temporary sleep disruption, as our bodies adjust to the new time.

Some people may also experience changes in their mood or energy levels.

Here are some tips for making the transition to Standard Time easier:

• Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends.
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed.
• Create a relaxing bedtime routine.
• Make sure your bedroom is dark, quiet, and cool.
• If you have trouble sleeping, get out of bed and do something relaxing until you feel tired.

Most people will adjust to the time change within a few days. If you continue to have trouble sleeping, talk to your doctor.
