Ohioans will “fall back” this Sunday, November 2, as Daylight Saving Time ends for 2025.
At 2 a.m., clocks should be set back one hour, giving residents an extra hour of sleep.
The time change marks the return to Standard Time, which will last until March 9, 2026, when clocks will move forward again for the start of Daylight Saving Time.
The shift to Standard Time means earlier sunsets and darker evenings, but lighter mornings.
Experts remind drivers and pedestrians to stay alert, as darker evenings can increase the risk of accidents.
It’s also a good opportunity for households to check smoke detectors, replace batteries, and review emergency preparedness plans.
While many enjoy the extra hour of sleep, the shift can temporarily affect sleep patterns, particularly for children and older adults.
Health professionals recommend gradually adjusting bedtime routines over the next few days to minimize disruption.
