DON'T FORGET TO FALL BACK ONE HOUR: On November 2, 2025, clocks will "fall back" one hour, moving from 2 a.m. to 1 a.m. local time for most of the United States, signaling the end of Daylight Saving Time, and return to Standard Time. This change means you gain an extra hour of sleep. The time change affects the 48 states that observe DST, while Hawaii and most of Arizona (and some U.S. territories) do not change their clocks.

Fall Back on Sat., Nov. 1
