Time to Fall Back, Michigan – Daylight Saving Time Ends This Weekend

Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend in Michigan.

In my house, it’s known as the least wonderful time of the year. Why are we still moving clocks forward and backward anyway?

On Sunday, November 2nd, 2025, at 2:00 AM, clocks throughout the Great Lakes State will fall back one hour. Yes, we get an extra hour of sleep, but I would hand it right back if it meant we did not have to live in darkness starting at 5:00 PM.

Am I right?

It really stinks for anyone who commutes both ways in the dark, going to work before the sun comes up and heading home long after it’s gone down. It feels like the whole day disappears.

Most of us feel like zombies for the first few weeks. Yes, we get used to it, but it does not mean we like it.

I have zero scientific proof, but I am guessing there is only one person, somewhere in Michigan, sipping a pumpkin-spice latte in the dark at 5:00 PM, who actually likes this time of year. So tell me, is this person you?

If you are the one rare person who actually enjoys this time of year, I need you to explain your ways. Give me a list of reasons why I should not glare at the clock and curse the darkness every evening at 5:00 PM.

Here is the worst part about the time change in 2025: most of our devices now update automatically. Unfortunately, the days of blaming the time change for being late are long gone.

Ugh. Wake me up when we spring forward.
