Explainer: Why US, Canada, Europe set clocks back every October-November and what is the controversy

Several countries, including the US, Canada, and Cuba, will set their clocks back an hour on November 5, ending Daylight Saving Time. DST is the practice of moving clocks forward during summer months to extend daylight into the evening. The debate over ending this practice has resurfaced, with arguments against it including health and safety risks, lack of energy savings, and disruption to routines. Proponents argue that DST provides more daylight hours, reduces crime, and has economic benefits. In the US, there is ongoing discussion about making DST permanent, but no legislation has been passed yet.
