US Ends Daylight Saving Time for 2026 Amid Debate Over Permanent Change
Daylight saving time ended in the US on November 1, 2026, with clocks set back one hour, giving most Americans an extra hour of sleep and earlier sunrises and sunsets. While the House has passed the Sunshine Protection Act to make daylight saving time permanent, the Senate has yet to approve it due to concerns about winter mornings and public safety. The debate continues over whether the US will maintain the biannual clock changes or adopt permanent daylight saving time.
