Daylight Saving Time Ends Soon: What You Need to Know

As of October 25, 2025, the end of daylight saving time is just around the corner. On November 2, 2025, at 2 a.m., most states participating in the practice will turn their clocks back by one hour, marking the conclusion of daylight saving time for the year.

The debate surrounding the biannual clock changes has been ongoing for decades. While some argue that daylight saving time saves energy, prevents traffic injuries, and reduces crime, others have pushed for its abolition. In recent years, several states have passed bills to establish year-round daylight saving time, but any permanent changes would require congressional approval.

One state taking action is Ohio, where the House State and Local Government Committee passed House Concurrent Resolution 7 in October 2023. This resolution urges Congress to enact the Sunshine Uniformity Act, which would make daylight saving time permanent and end the biannual tradition of changing the clocks. The bill has since been adopted by the House and referred to a Senate committee in December 2023.

As the nation prepares for the upcoming clock change, the debate over the future of daylight saving time continues to gain momentum, with the possibility of a federal-level resolution on the horizon.
