It’s once again time to “fall back,” as the November time change approaches. If all this time shifting messes with your head, you’re far from alone. Here’s your twice-annual reminder about what this all means, and what to do.
The shortening of days as the weather cools down means Daylight Saving Time (DST) is coming to an end, and it’s almost time to switch back to standard time, when we set our clocks back an hour. Yes, this is the clock change where you get an extra hour of sleep, rather than losing an hour of sleep like you do in spring.
When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all
When does Daylight Savings Time end in 2024?
DST will technically end on Sunday, November 3, 2024 at 2 a.m. local time (if applicable in your area). Your smartphone will most likely change itself, but if you have, say, an old grandfather clock in your house, and you want to experience the time change as it happens, wait until 2 a.m. and set your clock back to 1 a.m. — yes, repeating the hour that just happened.
