Fall Back Time Change this Sunday

Time to set your clocks back one hour this Sunday!  Yes.  That means you get an extra hour of sleep.

The “fall back” time change refers to the transition from Daylight Saving Time (DST) back to standard time, which occurs in the fall. In the United States, this typically happens on the first Sunday in November. At 2:00 AM, clocks are set back one hour to 1:00 AM. This means that people gain an extra hour of sleep, which many appreciate.

The primary purpose of this change is to make better use of natural daylight during the shorter days of winter. By moving the clock back, evening daylight lasts longer, which can benefit activities that take place after work or school.

However, the switch can also disrupt sleep patterns and routines, as people adjust to the new time. Some studies suggest it may have temporary effects on health, mood, and productivity.

Different regions may have varying practices regarding daylight saving time; for example, some states in the U.S. do not observe it at all.
