Short answer: Yes, in many places you gain an extra hour this coming weekend due to the end of Daylight Saving Time, which means clocks are set back one hour. Details:

  • In the United States and most of Canada, Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday at 2:00 a.m. local time, when clocks are turned back one hour. This results in an extra hour of sleep that first Sunday morning.
  • The change is scheduled for November 2, 2025, in the U.S., with many outlets noting the “fall back” timing and the health and scheduling implications discussed by health and news organizations.
  • In other regions (for example parts of Europe), the end date can differ by country, but the general pattern is that standard time resumes in autumn, adding or subtracting an hour depending on local rules. Always check local time changes for precise dates and times.

Practical tips:

  • Set all clocks back one hour before going to bed Saturday night or early Sunday morning to avoid being early for events.
  • If you rely on devices that automatically adjust, you may still want to verify that alarms and schedules reflect the correct local time.
  • Exposure to morning light after the change can help resynchronize your circadian rhythm more quickly.

If you’re in a country outside the U.S. or scheduled changes differ, tell me your location and I’ll give you the exact local timing.
