When is Fall Back Time Change 2024?
Daylight Saving Time Ends, Clocks Turn Back at 2 A.M.
On Sunday, November 3, 2024, at 2:00 AM, Daylight Saving Time (DST) will end in the United States and clocks will turn back one hour. This means that sunrise and sunset will occur one hour earlier than they did the previous day.
DST is observed in the spring and summer months to make better use of daylight. It was first implemented in the United States in 1918 as a way to conserve energy during World War I. DST is currently observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.
There are some states that do not observe DST, including Arizona and Hawaii. Additionally, the Navajo Nation, which spans parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, does not observe DST.
The switch to and from DST can have some negative effects on our health, such as sleep disruption and increased risk of accidents. However, DST can also have some benefits, such as reduced energy consumption and increased outdoor activity.
If you are having trouble adjusting to the time change, there are some things you can do to help, such as:
- 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.
