Fall is almost here, and that means we’re just a few short months away from every sleep enthusiast’s favorite holiday: the end of Daylight Saving Time, which began on March 10.
This year, Americans will “fall back,” at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 3, gaining an extra hour of sleep as opposed to the dreaded “spring forward” in March in which snoozers lose an hour.
Daylight Saving Time was implemented nationwide in the United States in 1966 with clocks being set forward an hour on the second Sunday of March and set back an hour on the first Sunday of November.
However, not every state and territory in the United States recognizes Daylight Saving Time. Arizona and Hawaii do not, as well as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa.
As the leaves change color and the air starts to get cooler, worry not. Your extra hour of sleep is coming soon — unless you live in one of the places mentioned above, unfortunately.
