What is the End of Daylight Saving Time?
Daylight saving time ends on the first Sunday in November, when clocks "fall back" from 2:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. local time. The night is an hour longer, mornings are lighter and evenings get dark earlier.
History of the End of Daylight Saving Time
Under the Uniform Time Act of 1966, daylight saving time ended on the last Sunday in October. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 extended it to the first Sunday in November starting in 2007, adding about a week of evening daylight in the fall.

- U.S. business days exclude Saturday, Sunday and observed nationwide federal closures; individual employer and state schedules are not included.
