Daylight Saving Time Ends in United States in 2022

Daylight Saving Time Ends in 2022 is on the Sunday, 06th of November (06/11/2022).

Daylight saving time (DST) is a practice to set clocks forward by one hour from standard time in the spring and set clocks back by one hour in autumn in order to return to standard time. Daylight saving time is also called daylight savings time, daylight time or summer time. DST helps conserve energy by reducing the need for lighting and heating.

In the US, the Daylight saving time (DST) ends on the first Sunday in November every year. On this day, Americans will set clocks back by one hour hence there will be one 25-hour day on the first Sunday in November in the autumn. DST is not observed near the Equator, where sunrise and sunset times do not vary much.

This idea of aligning waking hours to daylight hours, in order to preserve candle use and save money, was first proposed in 1784 by American scientist and inventor Benjamin Franklin. In 1907, British resident William Willett suggested the idea of Daylight saving time (DST) as a way to save energy but it was not adopted. However, in 1908 Port Arthur, Ontario and Canada started using DST. From the year 1970 onwards, many countries have started using DST at various times.
