Daylight saving time ended today. Here's what to know.
Millions of Americans gained an hour of sleep this weekend when the time change commonly known as daylight saving ended for 2026, meaning clocks "fell back."
On Sunday, November 1, the clocks in most of the United States were set back by one hour, marking the end of daylight saving time for 2026. The transition occurred at 2 a.m. local time, resulting in an extra hour of sleep for millions of Americans. The U.S. first implemented daylight saving time during World War I to conserve fuel, and it has been observed periodically since then, with the most recent changes taking effect in 2007. Hawaii and most of Arizona are the only states that do not observe daylight saving time.
