It’s the least wonderful time of the year. At least when it comes to sunlight.
Yes, the holiday season is upon us once again. But so is the darkness, thanks to a horrible tradition colloquially referred to as “turning back the clocks.”
Californians made their preferences about changing clocks known in 2018, and yet here we are (that proposition, if enacted, would have locked our state in standard time like neighbor Arizona). And both of California’s U.S. senators are cosponsors of the federal Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight-saving time permanent across the country. It passed the U.S. Senate in March — and has been stalled in the House since.
And so, daylight-saving time ends on Sunday, Nov. 6, 2022, at 2 a.m., and with it, so does the ability to experience sunlight outside of working hours. You know the drill by now: Turn your clocks back an hour before you go to bed Saturday. Don’t forget your car; your phone will most likely update on its own.
