Daylight saving time ends Sunday
The gist
Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, turning US clocks back to 1 a.m.
The extra hour can disrupt sleep, and a stalled bill keeps the twice-yearly switch.
How it unfolded
- Jul 14, 2026The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight saving time permanent, in a bipartisan 308-117 vote.
- Jul 15, 2026The measure was referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.
- Oct 26, 2026Sleep experts recommended shifting bedtime and wake time 15-20 minutes later each night starting about four days before the change, on Wednesday night, Oct. 28.
