Fall is officially here. Can the time change be far behind?

The Autumnal Equinox, the start of astronomical fall, began in the northern hemisphere on Saturday, Sept. 23 at 1:50 a.m. CT. The time marked the minute when the sun was directly above the equator, making day and night nearly equal in length across the world.

With astronomical fall here, we next turn to changing the clocks to mark the end of daylight saving time.

Daylight saving time ends Sunday, Nov. 5 at 2 a.m. ET (1 a.m. CT). This used to mean moving clocks back one hour before you went to bed Saturday night but thanks to technology, most devices now update automatically. If not, you will move your clocks back one hour on Saturday night.

You can enjoy an extra hour of sleep Sunday morning as we “fall back” an hour, as more daylight is pushed to morning in what’s known as “standard time.”

We will be living with dark afternoons until March 10, 2024 when DST starts again. It will end on Nov. 3, 2024.

Under federal law, DST begins on the second Sunday in March and runs through the first Sunday in November. It’s not observed everywhere, however. Parts of Arizona, Hawaii and some U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands do not observe DST.

In 1973, President Richard Nixon signed into law the Emergency Daylight Saving Time Energy Conservation Act that made DST permanent in the U.S. In 2005, the Uniform Time Act tweaked that schedule by setting the start of DST to the second Sunday of March and the end on the first Sunday of November, lengthening the duration of DST.
