Daylight Saving Time: When Do We Fall Back?
Ugh, daylight saving time. It's that time of year again when we get to "fall back" and lose an hour of sleep. But when exactly does this happen in 2023? Let's break it down.
The End of Daylight Saving Time in 2023
This year, daylight saving time ends on Sunday, November 5, 2023. That means at 2:00 AM on that Sunday, clocks will be set back one hour to 1:00 AM. So, you actually gain an hour of sleep! Sweet dreams!
Why Do We Do This Anyway?
Daylight saving time (DST) was originally implemented to save energy by shifting the clock forward an hour during the summer months. The idea was to take advantage of the longer daylight hours and reduce the need for artificial lighting.
While the energy savings are debatable, DST remains in place in many parts of the world. It’s kind of a pain, but hey, at least it gives us an extra hour of sleep when it ends!
The Debate Continues
There's been a lot of talk about eliminating DST in recent years. Some people argue that it disrupts our sleep patterns and can be bad for our health. Others say it's a waste of time and doesn't actually save energy. It's a real debate that doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon.
For now, though, we'll just have to deal with the annual clock change. So mark your calendars for November 5th, and get ready to enjoy that extra hour of sleep!
Need a Reminder?
Don't forget to set your clocks back on November 5th. You can also set a reminder on your phone or computer to make sure you don't miss it.
So, There You Have It
That’s all you need to know about the end of daylight saving time in 2023. Now, go get some extra sleep!
