Daylight Saving Time Ends

Fall back and enjoy an extra hour of sleep! Daylight Saving Time ends, giving us that precious extra hour we've been waiting for. While it means shorter days and longer nights, it also brings cozy evenings, earlier sunsets, and the perfect excuse to stay in with a good book or movie. Don't forget to turn your clocks back before bed!

History & Origins

Fun and quirky observances often start as lighthearted social media movements, marketing campaigns, or creative initiatives to bring joy and entertainment.

Why It Matters

Fun observances provide stress relief, encourage creativity, and remind us of the importance of joy and playfulness in our daily lives.

How to Celebrate

Set all your clocks back one hour before going to bed on Saturday night. Enjoy the extra hour of sleep and wake up feeling more rested. Use the time change as an opportunity to check and replace batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Plan cozy indoor activities for the longer evenings ahead. Take advantage of the earlier sunset to enjoy beautiful autumn sunsets.
