If you live in the United States at 2:00 AM on the first Sunday in November you turn your clocks back one hour to 1:00 AM. This year that is November the 2nd.
Edit: We still have the same amount of daylight. The time on the clock is simply changed by 1 hour. We do not stop Earth’s rotation to allow for more daylight.
The exact same thing as Y2K. IE: nothing. Daylight savings time is just a convenience. It allows grownups to maintain the maximum number of daylight hours in a given day. I am pretty sure that they don’t observe it in various places, and the world hasn’t come to an end.

delay
My curtains may not fade as fast now, and possibly the impacts of global warming may be lessened now we have one less hour of sunlight.
