When to Set Your Clocks Back for Daylight Saving Time in Ohio
The End of Daylight Saving Time
Daylight saving time (DST) is a practice of advancing clocks during summer months to make better use of daylight. In the United States, DST begins on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November. This means that in 2023, DST will end in Ohio on Sunday, November 5th at 2:00 AM.
At 2:00 AM on November 5th, clocks will be set back one hour, to 1:00 AM. This means that you will gain an extra hour of sleep on that night.
Why Do We Have Daylight Saving Time?
Daylight saving time was first implemented in the United States during World War I as a way to conserve energy. The idea was that by moving clocks forward one hour during the summer months, people would use less electricity for lighting in the evenings.
After the war, DST was repealed, but it was reinstated in 1966 as a permanent measure. Today, DST is used in most of the United States, as well as in many other countries around the world.
