The day after Halloween, Daylight Saving Time will end, allowing everyone an extra hour of sleep, or celebration, on Sunday, Nov. 1.  

On Nov. 1, clocks will "fall back" to standard time until daylight saving time resumes March 14, 2027. The change shifts daylight toward the morning, with sunrise and sunset occurring an hour earlier on the clock. In Sandpoint, sunset will be at approximately 4:30 p.m. Sunday, according to AccuWeather. 

At 2 a.m. local time Sunday, clocks in most of the country will move back one hour to 1 a.m. Hawaii, most of Arizona and some U.S. territories do not observe daylight saving time.  

Daylight Saving Time is still applicable throughout most parts of North America, despite the U.S. House of Representatives passing the Sunshine Protection Act on July 14, 2026. The bill would keep the U.S. on daylight saving time year-round, removing the necessity for the biannual clock change.  

The bill has not become a law and still requires approval from the Senate.  

The United States first adopted daylight saving time in 1918 during World War I to conserve fuel and electricity. Moving clocks forward shifted an hour of daylight to the evening, allowing people to make greater use of natural light.
