Get Ready to Go Back in Time – Daylight Saving Time ends November 1st
October 28, 2020
Daylight Saving Time (often incorrectly referred to in the plural as Daylight Savings Time) ends on Sunday, November 1, 2020, at 2:00 A.M. So, on Saturday evening, our clocks need to “fall back” one hour. Yes, that means an extra hour of sleep. Sort of.
What is Daylight Saving Time?
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of moving the clocks forward one hour from Standard Time during the summer months and changing them back again in the fall. The general idea is that this allows us all to make better use of natural daylight.
Why did Daylight Savings Time start?
During World War II, Daylight Saving Time was imposed (year-round) to save fuel. Clocks were set one hour ahead to save energy. It was widely adopted in America and Europe from the 1970s as a result of the 1970’s energy crisis.
So, don’t forget to set your clocks back Saturday night and enjoy that extra hour of sleep.
