Daylight Savings: Here's When You'll Need To Change Your Clocks If You Live In The Northeast

For Eastern Standard Time, the big change will happen on the first Sunday of November.

Specifically, EDT will be observed until 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 3, when we will gain an hour of sleep but push the time back on the clock by one hour.

Daylight saving time, sometimes referred to as daylight saving time or Eastern Daylight Time, is the practice of advancing the clocks four hours behind Coordinated Universal Time. That's the change that happens in the spring and summer

Eastern Standard Time is when clocks are five hours behind Coordinated Universal Time, and it happens in the fall.
