Daylight Saving Time Ends Sunday: What to Know
Love it or not, millions of Americans will turn their clocks back this Sunday as daylight saving time officially ends. This annual ritual affects sleep, daily routines, and even mood, dividing opinions nationwide.
“Because federal law does not currently allow full-time DST, Congress would have to act before states could adopt changes.” — National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL)
When the clocks move back one hour, mornings become brighter and evenings darker across most states. Hawaii and Arizona remain exceptions, with the latter observing standard time year-round. However, the portion of the Navajo Nation located in Arizona continues to follow daylight saving time.
U.S. territories including Guam, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands also keep their clocks unchanged throughout the year.
According to the NCSL, nineteen states have passed laws or resolutions supporting permanent daylight saving time, but these measures cannot take effect without federal approval. This ongoing debate reflects differing priorities—some welcome the extra morning light, while others resent losing evening daylight later in the year.
