How to adjust as daylight saving time ends and clocks fall back

Americans gain an extra hour as clocks fall back, with experts advising gradual bedtime shifts and morning light exposure to ease sleep and mood disruptions.

  • On Nov. 2, most U.S. regions will quit daylight saving time and return to standard time, so households and workplaces must reset clocks as Americans gain an extra hour.
  • Efforts to abolish the change stalled despite the Sunshine Protection Act passing the Senate while the House of Representatives did not act, and federal law lets states opt out but not make daylight saving permanent.
  • Practical steps include going to bed 15 minutes earlier and using relaxation techniques, while seeking morning light and a short walk help reset the internal clock and improve alertness.
  • Many people experience sluggishness and sleep struggles, while commutes and schedules delay as people and families adjust; medical studies link these shifts to short-term health risks.
  • Nineteen states have passed laws allowing permanent daylight saving if federal law permits, while Hawaii and Arizona already stay on standard time year-round; the American Academy of Sleep Medicine advocates permanent standard time.
