When is the winter time change in 2024 in the U.S.? Everything you need to know.

This annual ritual invites us to set the clocks back an hour, returning to standard time. Mornings are filled with light earlier, while afternoons quickly give way to dusk, reminding us of the arrival of the colder and quieter months of the year.

The transition to winter time is approaching in the northern hemisphere of the planet, marking a time when daily routines adjust to accommodate shorter days and longer nights.

In 2024, the end of daylight saving time in the United States will take place on Sunday, November 3. At 2:00 AM, clocks will be set back one hour, marking 1:00 AM.

This adjustment, which occurs annually, is designed to make better use of sunlight during the darker months of the year. Presumably, we gain an hour of sleep, the mornings are lighter, but in the afternoons it gets dark earlier.

Some states have discussed eliminating daylight saving time, but most of the country continues to apply this measure, which affects daily activities such as work, travel, and social life.

In addition, this change can influence the mental health of some people, as the reduction of sunlight is associated with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a type of depression that occurs in autumn and winter.

It is important to pay attention to November 3rd to adjust the clocks and avoid confusion in daily activities.
