This Year’s Daylight Saving Time “Fall Back” Date

Daylight saving time is still happening, with clocks set to “fall back” in November and “spring forward” in March. This practice of adjusting clocks by one hour between March and November is meant to provide more daylight in the evenings or mornings. However, there have been efforts to make daylight saving time permanent, such as the Sunshine Protection Act, although it has not yet been signed into law. Not all states and U.S. territories participate in daylight saving time, with Hawaii and most of Arizona choosing not to observe the time change. The Navajo Nation does follow daylight saving time while other territories like American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands do not. As the end of daylight saving time approaches in 2024 on November 3, it’s time to prepare for gaining an extra hour of sleep. While the debate over the necessity of daylight saving time continues, many Americans will continue to adjust their clocks twice a year until a more permanent solution is implemented.
