First light and last light
The sky gets light at 7:02 AM, 23 minutes before the sun comes up, and stays light until 7:10 PM, 23 minutes after it sets. That gives Miami 12 hours 8 minutes of usable light today, against 11 h 21 min of sun. Both are the moment the sun is 6° below the horizon (how DaySight calculates these times).
Clock changes
On Sunday, November 1 the clocks go back. In Miami that takes sunset from 6:41 PM the day before to 5:40 PM, and sunrise from 7:29 AM to 6:30 AM. The light shifts to the morning, where it does the most good for sleep.
