Daylight Saving Time is officially coming to an end for 2023.

But when do the clocks change? Do people gain an hour or lose an hour when DST ends? And is Daylight Saving Time ending permanently?

These all are good questions. Readers can find these answers and more below when we take a closer look at falling back for Daylight Saving Time.

When does time change in 2023 for Daylight Saving Time in U.S.?
Participating states turn their clocks back in the fall when Daylight Saving Time ends on the first Sunday of November each year. In the spring, clocks are turned forward an hour on the second Sunday in March.

Why does time change at 2 a.m. for Daylight Saving Time?
Author Michael Downing cited his book, "Spring Forward: The Annual Madness of Daylight Saving Time," in an interview with Time Magazine, explaining Amtrak and the railroads were the main reason clocks change at 2 a.m. for DST.

It was nice having that extra hour of sleep, but I don't like it getting dark so early in the afternoon.  It gets dark here at about 5:30 p.m.
