As the end of Daylight Saving Time approaches, many people are wondering, “When does the time change in 2024?” This year, the clocks will “fall back” on Sunday, November 3, at 2:00 AM. Marking the transition from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time, this shift gives us an extra hour of sleep and signals shorter days ahead.
When to Set Your Clocks Back
Set your clocks back one hour before bed on Saturday night, November 2, 2024, to stay on schedule. Officially, the change happens at 2:00 AM on Sunday, but adjusting your clocks the night before ensures you’re prepared for Sunday morning.
Why Do We Change the Time?
Daylight Saving Time was designed to maximize daylight during the longer days of spring and summer. Returning to Standard Time in November, we gain more morning light, though we’ll see earlier sunsets. This shift helps us align our routines with the natural daylight cycle as winter approaches.
Seasonal Safety Reminder: Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

- Smoke Detectors should be placed higher on walls or ceilings since smoke rises. Replace the batteries and ensure they’re operational in bedrooms, hallways, and main areas.
- Carbon Monoxide Detectors should be lower as carbon monoxide settles near the ground. Make sure they’re near sleeping areas to detect this odorless, potentially harmful gas.
Checking these devices twice a year, especially during time changes, helps keep your household safe.
Future of Daylight Saving Time
While there’s an ongoing discussion about making Daylight Saving Time permanent, no nationwide decision has been made. So, be ready to set your clocks back on November 2.
Conclusion
Remember to set your clocks back this November and enjoy that extra hour of rest! While you’re at it, check your home’s safety detectors to prepare for the season.
