Daylight Saving Time Ends Soon: Here's When Clocks 'Fall Back'
What is Daylight Saving Time (DST)?
DST is a practice of advancing clocks during warmer months so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less.
This practice began in the United States during World War I to conserve energy.
Many countries around the world observe DST, but not all.
When Does Daylight Saving Time End in 2023?
In the United States, DST ends at 2:00 AM on Sunday, November 5, 2023.
This means that clocks will be set back one hour at that time.
On the first Sunday in November, many people will "fall back" and gain an extra hour of sleep.
Why Does Daylight Saving Time End?
The main reason DST ends is because it is no longer necessary to conserve energy during the winter months.
During the summer, the sun rises earlier and sets later, so there is more daylight in the evenings.
In the winter, the sun rises later and sets earlier, so there is less daylight in the evenings.
What Are the Pros and Cons of Daylight Saving Time?
