Each November, we “fall back” by setting our clocks one hour earlier as Daylight Saving Time ends. While gaining an extra hour of sleep may sound like a bonus, the shift can still disrupt your body’s internal clock, especially if you’re already sleep-deprived.

Our circadian rhythm, which regulates sleep and wake cycles, is influenced by light exposure. When the clocks change, our exposure to morning and evening light shifts, which can affect sleep quality, mood, and alertness.

What to Expect

Even though we gain an hour, the earlier sunset can lead to:

HARRISBURG, Pa (October 27) – During its quarterly business meeting today, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) encouraged anglers and boaters to take advantage of the many fall and winter fishing and boating opportunities available across the Commonwealth and reminded everyone to make safety a priority while enjoying the water.

Board President and District 2 Commissioner John Mahn, Jr. reminded anglers and boaters about the annual cold weather life jacket requirement that begins on November 1, 2025, and lasts through April 30, 2026.

“With beautiful weather and scenic surroundings continuing to draw people outdoors this fall, many anglers, boaters, and hunters are still very active on our waterways,” said Mahn.  “While we encourage everyone to keep going and enjoy the adventures that still await, we also want to make sure safety is a part of those plans throughout the cold weather months.  Whether you’re paddling on your favorite stream, fishing or waterfowl hunting from a boat, or venturing out onto a frozen lake for ice fishing this winter, please wear your life jacket.  It’s the law this time of year on all kayaks, canoes, and boats under 16 feet.  Life jackets really do save lives.”
