did we gain an hour today

Yes — today most of the United States did gain an hour. Daylight Saving Time ended on Sunday, November 2, 2025 at 2:00 a.m. local time, when clocks were turned back one hour to standard time, giving many people an extra hour of sleep. What this means for you:

  • Clocks go back one hour at 2:00 a.m. on November 2, 2025, so if you didn’t manually adjust, some devices may have done so automatically.
  • Sunrise and sunset times shift earlier in the day following the change, with evenings getting darker sooner.
  • If you have manual clocks (analog watches, wall clocks, some appliances), you’ll want to set them back by one hour.

Notes and caveats:

  • A few places in the U.S. don’t observe Daylight Saving Time year-round (e.g., most of Arizona and Hawaii), but most of the country does switch back on this date.
  • If you rely on timetables, schedules, or devices that auto-update, double-check that they’ve changed correctly, especially for alarms, medication reminders, and travel plans.

If you’d like, I can provide sunrise/sunset times for your city for today and the coming weeks to reflect the change.
