Daylight Saving Time Ends: When To Fall Back An Hour This Weekend

### Fall Back An Hour This Weekend

Daylight saving time (DST) ends on Sunday, November 6, 2022, at 2:00 a.m. local time. This means that at 2:00 a.m., clocks will be turned back one hour, to 1:00 a.m.

DST is a practice of advancing clocks during the summer months to make better use of daylight. It was first adopted in the United States in 1918, as a way to conserve energy during World War I. Today, DST is used in most of the United States, as well as in many other countries around the world.

There are some benefits to DST. For example, it can reduce energy consumption by reducing the need for artificial lighting in the evenings. It can also make it easier to get up in the morning, since the sun will be rising earlier.

However, there are also some drawbacks to DST. For example, it can disrupt sleep schedules, especially for children and the elderly. It can also increase the risk of accidents, since people may be more tired when driving home from work in the evening.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to use DST is a complex one. There are both benefits and drawbacks to consider. However, for now, DST is still in use in most of the United States, and it will end on Sunday, November 6, 2022, at 2:00 a.m. local time.
