Did time change last night in usa

On Sunday, November 1, 2026, the United States officially ended Daylight Saving Time, marking the transition back to Standard Time. At 2:00 a.m. local time, clocks across most of the country were set back one hour, effectively granting residents an extra hour of sleep. This annual adjustment, which occurs on the first Sunday of November, shifts the daylight hours earlier in the morning and results in earlier sunsets during the evening. While the majority of states participate in this time change, certain regions, including Hawaii and most of Arizona, remain exempt from the practice and do not adjust their clocks. The return to Standard Time is intended to better align daylight hours with typical school and work schedules during the winter months. As the nation transitions, public safety officials have reminded citizens to use this opportunity to check the batteries in their smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms, a common practice associated with the biannual clock adjustment. The country will remain on Standard Time until Daylight Saving Time resumes in the spring of 2027.
