Is daylight saving time ending today? This question is buzzing everywhere on Google and social media! Let’s clear the air on when daylight saving time (DST) falls back. DST means pushing clocks forward one hour in summer to enjoy longer evenings. It has been common in almost all the US states since the 1960s. But there’s a new twist — some want to make this hour change permanent. Mark your calendar! In 2025, daylight saving time will fall back on November 2 at 2 a.m. That means clocks will move back to 1 a.m. and give you an extra hour of sleep! In March 2022, the US Senate surprised everyone by voting unanimously to make DST permanent. But wait, there was a hiccup. The House of Representatives couldn’t agree, and the plan got stuck. Fast forward to January, a team of 16 senators tried again, pushing hard to keep DST forever, but Congress has not held any hearings yet. Former President Trump threw his hat in the ring in December, saying the Republican Party "will use its best efforts" to end daylight saving time because he found it "inconvenient, and very costly to our nation." The big question: what do lawmakers think? The answer is, they are all over the place, just like the American public! Some want to stay on standard time all year round. Others want to keep daylight saving time forever. And yet another group wants to keep switching the clocks twice a year, just like today. Why all this fuss? Supporters of ending the clock changes argue that switching twice a year messes up our sleep, harms health, and causes confusion. Fun fact: The US even tried year-round DST during World War II and again in 1973 to save energy during an oil crisis. But those moves were unpopular and reversed quickly. Since 2015, around 30 states have tried to say goodbye to the clock flip-flop. Some even say they will only do it if their neighboring states join in to avoid chaos. FAQs: Q1. When does Daylight saving time 2025 fall back? A1. On November 2, 2025, at 2 a.m., clocks will reset to 1 a.m. Q2. What are lawmakers saying about Daylight saving time 2025? A2. Lawmakers are split like the public—some want year-round standard time, more want permanent DST, while others want to keep things as they are. So, keep an eye on your clocks this November. Will the time stay the same year-round soon, or will we keep dancing with the clock twice a year? Stay tuned!
