You’ll want to make sure you set your clocks back an hour in Indiana because daylight saving time will end at 2 am Sunday November 3. With this being the fall, we will “fall back.” That means you’ll get an extra hour of sleep.

It also allows for more daylight in the mornings throughout the winter months.

“That’s fine. I don’t care. I’d prefer it if it didn’t do it at all,” said one woman in Indianapolis on Monument Circle about the time change.

The opposite of that is the springtime “spring forward” adjustment, where we lose an hour of sleep.

Nearly two thirds of voters in a Network Indiana News Poll on X said they do not approve of the time change.

“Great in summer for extra hours of daylight, but stinks in winter,” one commenter wrote.

“Let’s do the fallback thing, then let’s make Indiana central time state wide effective on the spring forward date, and then let’s make DST Permanent so we can stop this time change,” said another.

State Representative Jerry Torr represents portion of Carmel and Westfield. He was the one who put together legislation moving Indiana to daylight saving time. Torr and his supporters argue that this move has been instrumental in supporting businesses and commerce in the state.

“What we had before was such an impediment to interstate commerce when almost all the rest of the country changed the time and 77 counties in Indiana did not change time. We heard testimony from so many business entities explaining how our failure to change time messed with interstate commerce. In some instances, it cost them a ton of money,” said Torr.

Torr also understands that there are health concerns with changing the time and it can mess up a person’s circadian rhythm.

“That’s why I support Congress either repealing daylight saving time or making it permanent. One or the other needs to be done because there’s a lot of truth,” said Torr.

Torr’s term ends this November, and he is not seeking re-election.

Others who chimed in on the poll say the time change disrupts their daily routines and sleep patterns. Some suggested adopting Torr’s idea of having it all consistent one way or the other.

“I’d like to turn MY clock back about 50 years!” one commenter said while injecting humor into the conversation.​
