The end to daylight saving time means our clocks will 'fall back' on Sunday, Nov. 3, 2024. But why do we have to adjust the time twice a year?
The end to daylight saving time is just around the corner, meaning clocks in most parts of the U.S. will 'fall back' one hour on Sunday, Nov. 3, 2024. Here's what to know about daylight saving time, and why we change our clocks twice a year.When is daylight saving time?Daylight saving time, when we turned our clocks forward one hour, began on March 10 this year. Daylight saving ends on Nov. 3, when clocks get turned back one hour. The switch happens at 2 a.m. local time.
While the idea of switching the clocks to rely more on sunlight is often attributed to Ben Franklin, The Franklin Institute disputes this, saying he merely suggested people in Paris change their sleep schedules so they save money on candles and lamp oil.The institute credits New Zealand entomologist George Hudson, who presented the idea in 1895 because he wanted more daylight in the evenings.
