Daylight Saving Time Ends on Sunday, November 6th at 2 a.m.

Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 6, 2011 at 2 a.m. In other words, at 1:59:59 a.m. on Sunday, your clocks will revert back to 1 a.m. Yes! FALL BACK!! An extra hour of sleep!

This marks the 5th year that DST ends in November rather than October. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 gave us an extra month of DST by starting DST 3 weeks earlier and ending it one week later. DST currently ends on the 1st Sunday of November.

For my more precise readers, it is officially called Daylight Saving (not Savings) Time. So if you want to irritate your friends, correct them any time they call it Daylight SavingS time.

Also as one website I found mentioned, Daylight Saving Time is technically inaccurate, since we don't really gain daylight. It would more appropriately be called Daylight Shifting Time but I don't see that being a high priority initiative.

Falling back is probably my favorite day of the year as I thoroughly enjoy the gift of an extra hour. However, I'm firmly against DST. HERE'S MY RANT.
