The fall back for daylight saving time in 2023 happens on Sunday, November 5, 2023, at 2 a.m. local time in many places such as the United States. At that time, clocks are set backward one hour, giving an extra hour of sleep and earlier morning light but earlier evening darkness. In Europe, the fall back for daylight saving time in 2023 was earlier, on Sunday, October 29, 2023, at 3 a.m., when clocks were set back one hour to 2 a.m. standard time. So, to summarize:

• In the US and many other places, daylight saving time ends on November 5, 2023, at 2 a.m.
• In Europe, the end was October 29, 2023, at 3 a.m. when clocks were set back 1 hour.

This practice is often referred to as "fall back" because clocks are set back one hour in the fall season.
