Daylight saving time ends next weekend, with the clocks officially changing at 2 a.m. on Sunday. While it’ll still be light enough for trick-or-treating on Halloween, the time change will hit the day after, when most of the US adjusts back one hour.

The time shift is notorious for disrupting sleep patterns and schedules . Some politicians are advocating for the abolition of time changes and the permanent adoption of daylight saving time, or DST. The House passed the Sunshine Protection Act in July, but it still needs Senate approval and the president’s signature to become law — meaning that, for now, we still have dark winter hours coming.

If you, too, dislike how early it gets dark each day through winter, just remember that brighter evenings will return in mid-March.

Daylight saving time in the US ends at 2 a.m. local time Sunday, Nov. 1. It will return at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, March 14, 2027.…
