Where Plan to Scrap Daylight Saving Stands as Clocks Go Back an Hour
This is everything you need to know about plans to stop clock changes, as America gets ready to set the clocks back.
On Sunday, November 1, Americans across most of the United States will adjust their clocks back an hour as daylight saving time (DST) comes to an end. The Sunshine Protection Act of 2025, introduced earlier this year, proposes keeping the country on daylight saving time year-round, but the bill has not yet passed the U.S. Senate.
President Donald Trump has been a strong advocate for ending the practice, but Republican lawmakers have raised concerns about the impact of permanent DST on winter mornings and school schedules. While there have been previous attempts to establish permanent DST, none have succeeded. States such as Hawaii and most of Arizona currently remain on standard time year-round.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine supports eliminating seasonal clock changes, favoring permanent standard time, as it aligns more closely with human circadian biology.
