When Daylight Saving Time Ends: Adjusting The Clocks This Weekend
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is coming to an end this Sunday, November 6th. At 2:00 AM, clocks will be turned back one hour, marking the return to Standard Time. This means that sunrise and sunset will occur one hour earlier than they have been for the past few months.
Adjusting The Clocks
Most clocks will automatically adjust to the time change, but it's always a good idea to double-check. To manually adjust your clocks, simply turn them back one hour. If you have any analog clocks, such as wall clocks or grandfather clocks, you will need to adjust them manually.
Benefits of Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time was first implemented in the United States in 1918 as a way to conserve energy. By moving the clocks forward one hour in the spring and back one hour in the fall, we can take advantage of the longer daylight hours during the summer months. This can lead to reduced energy consumption for lighting and heating/cooling.
Drawbacks of Daylight Saving Time
There are also some drawbacks to Daylight Saving Time. Some people find it difficult to adjust to the time change, and it can lead to sleep deprivation. Additionally, Daylight Saving Time can disrupt our circadian rhythms, which can have a negative impact on our health.
