Clocks Turn Back This Weekend: How to Prepare as Daylight Saving Time Ends
Mental health experts say 40% of Americans report worse winter moods as the clock change disrupts sleep and routines.
- On Sunday, November 1, 2026, clocks will turn back one hour at 2 a.m. in most U.S. states and select Canadian provinces as daylight saving time ends, returning regions to standard time.
- This shift disrupts the body's natural circadian rhythm, which experts say can trigger seasonal affective disorder or worsen depression as populations struggle to sync clock time with solar time.
- Psychiatrist Dr. Alina Vrincin-Hamm recommends adjusting schedules by 15 minutes daily before Sunday to minimize disruption, while psychotherapist Lynn Morgan suggests using bright lights to mimic natural sunlight.
- To maintain well-being, Morgan advises keeping warm, exercising, and socializing, noting that turning on bright home lights and limiting screen time can significantly improve mood during darker months.
- Economics professor Muzhe Yang notes that while standard time benefits sleep and mental health, persistent misalignment impacts population-level health risks, suggesting the policy decision involves both convenience and well-being.
