When Does Daylight Saving Time End for Michigan?
It began on Sunday morning, March 9, of this year. Daylight Saving Time, where we "spring ahead" one hour on our clocks to give us longer daylight hours through spring, summer and early fall. More time to be outside and enjoying sports, being at the lake, whatever.
We lose an hour of sleep and our body clocks do take several days to adjust. It hurts!
But, all the good extra daylight has to end sometime, and daylight saving time always comes and goes every year.
So, when do we "fall back" one hour to regular Eastern Standard Time?
This year it will be NOVEMBER 2ND AT 2.A.M. We move our clocks back one hour. Now our body clocks have to adjust again, and it probably be a few days of feeling off before we settle in to standard time.
And then, it starts all over again in 2026! And so it goes.
(By-the-way, officially it is called Daylight SAVING Time, not "savings," which we all probably say.)

Why is this happening and how did this all begin in the first place?
Well, the Farmer's Almanac, which knows all, says:
"The practice of daylight saving time was adopted in the U.S. in 1918 to conserve fuel during the last year of World War I, according to the. The U.S. law instituting DST was repealed in 1920, but was imposed again during World War II for the same reasons. In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Uniform Time Act, passed by Congress, to officially establish DST in the U.S."
I think we all will agree that this is actually a pain in the neck. Back and forth, lose sleep, gain sleep, lose our minds, get them back.
Can anything be done?
So far 19 states have passed bills to end this brutal attack on our lives. But that will only go so far since the old Uniform Time Act has to be amended. And there is the rub. It has passed the Senate but not the House, and so we go round and round again.
For the love of God, ease our pain!
