It\u2019s that time of the year again. Daylight saving time ends on Sunday, November 2, which means it’s time to turn back your clocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 2 a.m. on Sunday, the clocks will turn back by one hour, giving everyone an extra hour of sleep. This means there will be more sunlight in the mornings, but the sun will set earlier in the evenings. The switch will last until March 8, 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While most people will easily be able to adjust to the new time, it could be hard on children. We talked to Dr. Florencia Segura, a pediatrician at Einstein Pediatrics in Vienna, about how daylight saving affects kids<\/a> in 2023. She said, \u201cIn general, small kids will struggle more with falling back in the fall. Teenagers will actually benefit from the falling back; they will struggle with the springing ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There has been talk in recent years about ending the practice of daylight saving time, but it hasn’t come to fruition yet. In January 2025, lawmakers brought forth the Sunshine Protection Act of 2025<\/a>, which would have made daylight saving time the \u201cnew, permanent standard time,\u201d but it has stalled in Congress, The Washington Post <\/em>reported<\/a>. Several different iterations of this bill have been introduced and failed since 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There has also been a push to exempt Washington, DC, from observing daylight saving time. Earlier this year, the District Board of Elections approved a proposed ballot initiative<\/a> that would allow residents to vote on whether the city would keep observing daylight saving. Before the issue makes the ballot, organizers would need to collect signatures from 5 percent of voters in each DC ward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
