Daylight Saving Time 2022: When do clocks ‘fall back’ this year? Daylight Savings Time explained.
The end of Daylight Saving Time for 2022 arrives this weekend when the clock will “fall back” one hour and in theory we get one extra hour of sleep.
Daylight Saving Time concludes at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 6, 2022.
The sun will set in Newark at 5:48 p.m. on Saturday. The following day — after Daylight Saving time concludes — sunset is more than an hour earlier at 4:47 p.m.
Every state except Hawaii and Arizona currently observes daylight saving time. But each year, more states say it's time to stop futzing with the clock and embrace daylight saving time year-round.
Millions of Americans want to abandon the time change we endure twice each year, disrupting our circadian rhythms and creating confusion. More than a third of U.S. states now back a permanent shift to daylight saving time. If that happens, it would be a final victory for a plan that businesses have praised for more than 100 years.
For 2022, daylight saving time officially ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 6.
Daylight saving time is a moneymaker
When daylight saving was extended into early November 15 years ago, many saw the U.S. candy industry as a winner, since the extra hour of daylight could drive sales of more Halloween treats.
But support among businesses ran much deeper than that, according to time-change expert Michael Downing, a professor at Tufts University who wrote Spring Forward: The Annual Madness of Daylight Saving Time.
"What we don't tend to know as Americans is that the biggest lobby on behalf of daylight saving since 1915 in this country — and to this very day — is the Chamber of Commerce," Downing, who died earlier this year, said in a 2015 video about daylight saving.

Photos of the reroofing project on our building. There are around 24 apartments per floor.
The first group are of the crane outside of Mary's bedroom window.
The second group are of the outside work going on over our 4th floor appartment.
Dealing with grief!
Grief is a very real thing and finding support is not always available. We have lost 5 family members and friends over the last 2 years.
Mary has found a support group here at our retirement center. It has been a positive experience for her but most of the people in the group are unwilling to share their personal issues. This is really a lost chance for them to learn to understand and deal with their own grief.
She feels sorry for them that they are having a hard time opening up and taking advantage of this group to help them deal with their own grief.
People with primary progressive aphasia are fighting against a condition in which they will continue to lose their ability to speak, read, write, and/or understand what they hear. Usually people with aphasia that results from stroke or head injury will experience improvement over time, often aided by speech therapy. This is not the case for people with primary progressive aphasia. However, individuals with PPA may benefit during the course of their illness by acquiring new communication strategies from speech-language pathologists. Some families have also learned new strategies through participation in Aphasia Community Groups.
Many people with aphasia find it helpful to carry identification cards and other materials that can help explain the person’s condition to others. ID cards are available from the the National Aphasia Association website. Some communication-assistive devices may also be helpful. Non-verbal techniques for communicating, such as gesturing and pointing to pictures, may help people with PPA express themselves.
Compard to Altimers this little know deterioration of brain functions receives little recognition in the medical world.
My Brother-In-Law was a victim of PPA for well over a decade. I meet Rick in 1964 while in college and eventually married his sister-in-law in 1966.
It was very difficult to watch him deteriorate over the last 10+ years of his life knowing that there was basically no chance of him improving.
Yes Altimeter's needs to be cured or controlled but we need to combine efforts to cure all issues related to the human mind.
Unfortunately your or my mind could be the next one to fall victim to one of these mind blowing issues.
May you all be blessed when it comes to having a healthy mind for rest of your life.
In a rural area a farmer was tending to his horse named Buddy, and along came a stranger who despartely needed the farmer's help. The stranger had lost control of his vehicle and ran it off into a ditch. The stranger asked the farmer if his horse could somehow pull the vehicle out of the ditch for him and told the farmer that the vehicle was small. The farmer said he would come, bring his horse, and take a look, but could not promise he could help if his horse might be injured in some way from attempting to pull the vehicle out of the ditch. The farmer did see that the stranger was correct and that the vehicle was small, so the farmer took a rope and fixed it so that his horse, Buddy, would be able to pull the vehicle out of the ditch. The farmer then said, "Pull, Casey, Pull," but the horse would not budge. The farmer then said, "Pull, Bailey, Pull," but the horse would not budge again. The farmer then said, "Pull, Mandy, Pull," and again the horse would not move. The farmer then said, "Pull, Buddy, Pull," and the horse pulled until the vehicle was out of the ditch. The stranger was so very grateful, but asked the farmer why he called the horse by different names? The farmer said, "Buddy is blind, and I had to make him think he had help pulling the car out of the ditch or he would not have pulled."
SOARING LIKE AN EAGLE
Did you know that an eagle can foresee when a storm is approaching long before it breaks?
Instead of hiding, the eagle will fly to some high point and wait for the winds to come.
When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind can pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle soars above it.
The eagle does not escape or hide from the storm; instead, it uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the stormy winds which others dread.
When the storm of life or challenges hits us, we can rise above them and soar like the eagle that rides the storm’s winds. Don’t be afraid of the storms or the challenges in your life. Use it to lift you higher in your life.
Farmers are very important 😂 🍻
