Daylight Saving Time ends, clocks fall back

newsNov 1, 2026561,427

Daylight Saving Time ended today as clocks moved back one hour at 2:00 a.m. local time to 1:00 a.m., causing the one o'clock hour to run twice. The shift moves sunrise and sunset one hour earlier, producing darker evenings and reported sleep disruptions for people and pets. Some jurisdictions do not observe the change, including Hawaii and most of Arizona except the Navajo Nation. The twice-yearly clock adjustments are a modern hassle with deep precedents in calendar reform: in 1752 the British Parliament's Calendar (New Style) Act 1750 dropped 11 days, making Sept. 2 immediately followed by Sept. 14 across the British Empire. Expect earlier nightfall to persist through the standard-time months until clocks return to Daylight Saving Time in spring.

After tirelessly explaining that daylight saving time ended today, I realized I lost the argument and fed them 30 minutes early. 🤣

Harley says it’s daylight starvation time. I started making meal time a little later throughout the week last week in the hope it wouldn’t be so shocking today. She was not a fan of any of it.

I fed my cats an hour early.

I usually creep in incrementally to the new time!

I don't like this #DaylightSavingTime nonsense. My supper was late, my walk was late, I don't care what some stupid clock says. BTW, Mom says I sit like a little man. I don't know if that's an insult. #Spike #Sunday #Dogsofbluesky

My cats Jack & Missy agree with you completely. It has been a tough day.

If you fits, you sits... anyway you wants.

My cats would agree with you Spike. And you are adorable sitting in that chair!

I don't either, nor do my dogs!

I think it's a compliment Spike.🥰

We feel the same way you do about the clocks, and yes, Mom is slso correct. You do sit like a little man. 🐾😄🐾

Good night, Bluesky! It's that time of year...again! #DaylightSavingTime Don't forget to set your clocks BACK 1 hour tonight. (Spring ahead, Fall back) Tomorrow is the official beginning of "The Big Dark" in the PNW.

Not in BC, we stopped switching and are staying with DST. It's going to be odd being an hour off from the rest of the PNW lol

I always hated this time of year. Dark until like 8am, overcast all day, dark before 5pm, cold, wet. ☹️ When I worked 6am-7pm it sucked. It was always dark. 😩

Like to think of it as a tunnel. Getting through the tunnel and there’ll be the gorgeous light at the other end. Make your soup, burrow under your covers for deep winter sleeps, read your books, snuggle by your winter fires…the light always comes back. ✨

The big dark. Again. Already. Ugh. 😕

We’re setting our clocks back a 100 years…

I thought I hallucinated the time on the oven saying "2:something"

Yes, Seattle really is that far north, my friends. I used to leave for school in the dark, & get home from school at dusk in the middle of the gray, rainy winter.

HM: Barry. That’s not what we mean when we do Daylight Saving Time. We only change the hour hand. We still have our clocks. Barry: have you checked? #CrimesToTime

If the clocks have been moved backwards does this mean that the mafia don gets more #timetocrime?

So that is where the lost hour goes every spring. Glad you were kind enough to return it in the fall Barry.❤️

Stabatha1

Would you like to come steal mine too? Please?

Barry didn't steal the clocks. he's simply moving the entire timezone to a secure location.

Today Daylight Savings Ends Daylight saving time for 2026 ended at 2:00 a.m. local time, when the clocks "fall back" one hour to 1:00 a.m. Sunrise and sunset will happen one hour earlier, meaning darker evenings, except in Hawaii and most of Arizona (except the Navajo Nation), who do not observe.

glad to get home before "terror twilight": the first evening after daylight savings ends, when everyone on the road seems to have lost the ability to drive

@eevee.pmd.social

can we please have permanent standard time, I feel so much better on standard time, it feels so much more natural than daylight savings time, and I'm so tired of changing the clocks

Stomak11

it's the one time a year where my sleep schedule feels normal again, dst fucks up my sleep rhythm all summer

Sasha1

YES please lmao I know this has already been a thing in several states ( like mine ) and countries for years already, yet there's so many places that still refuse to budge on it It's confusing and tiring to have to set up/accommodate to different times whenever it changes

Shrike1

I'm the opposite, I'd rather have permanent DST. Standard time just feels so dark all the time, especially since I wake up at noon

Macy is reminding our US furriends (most of them) to reset their clocks on Sunday 11/1 - fall back an hour! Your hooms will think they get to sleep in - don’t let them! #Hedgewatch

Mum just reset the last analog clock. She wishes they would stop messing with the time.

Alice the cat would like her snack. How do I explain to her the concept of daylight savings time? Me: “It’s not time yet.” Alice: “Biological time overrules socioeconomic time” Me: “OK, fair…”.
