Daylight Savings Time 2014: When Do Clocks Go Back?

On Nov. 2, 2014, Sunday, 2 a.m., clocks will be turned backward one hour, which signals the end of Daylight Savings Time.

This means that sunrise and sunset will be one hour earlier the day after, and equates to more light in the morning. Note: You can change your clocks when you wake up Sunday morning.

The good news for all of us is that we get an extra hour of sleep. The bad news is that you might complain how dark it is on your way from work on Monday.

The DST practice has sparked heated debates as to whether the springing forward and falling back of clocks give positive results in relation to productivity and energy savings. The proponents of DST believe that the practice promotes outdoor leisure, saves energy and is good for overall economic productivity.

However, many people disagree. Ideas to alter, adopt and abolish DST are nothing new to many of us.

The next Daylight Savings Time schedule will begin on March 8, 2015 at 2:00 am, when clocks will once again be turned forward one hour from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m., and which equates to more light in the evening.

Meanwhile, in the UK, clocks had to go back one hour at 2 a.m. on Oct. 26—a few days earlier from the US schedule, marking the end of BST (British Summer Time).
