When does the time change 2024? Here's when Daylight Saving Time ends, when to adjust clocks

Are you ready to gain an hour when Daylight Saving Time returns to standard time?

Daylight saving time is an annual period when the United States and other countries change the clocks to make daylight last longer. In March, the clocks "spring forward" an hour, and in November, they "fall back."

In 2024, we'll return to standard time on Nov. 3. The time change helps to maximize the amount of natural daylight.

For many, it's good to wake up and feel like you got more sleep or wake up earlier than usual. Hopefully, making you feel more rested.

Here are some common questions about Daylight Saving Time.
