(NEXSTAR) – Make the most of your late sunsets because they won’t last much longer. This year, the end of daylight saving time and its earlier sunsets are arriving sooner than usual.
On November 2, 2025, we will “fall back,” marking one of the earliest possible dates for this change. Most people will be in bed at 2 a.m. when the clocks adjust, but the following day, you’ll notice the sun setting an hour earlier than the day prior.
This annual time shift is something some eagerly anticipate while others dread. Many attribute darker evenings to increased seasonal depression during the winter months. However, advocates highlight the health benefits of brighter mornings, noting the added safety for children heading to school. Maintaining daylight saving time year-round would mean darker mornings at the bus stop.
Daylight saving time concludes on the first Sunday of November, with the date differing each year. Next year, we can expect to see the earliest possible darker evenings starting November 1, 2026, when daylight saving commences.
Unless there’s a legislative shift to alter this annual clock change, initiatives to make daylight saving time permanent have repeatedly surfaced in Congress but have stalled without progress so far.
Two states have already made the change to permanent daylight saving time: Hawaii and Arizona (with the exception of Navajo land).
