OHIO — Don’t forget to set your clocks back an hour as the roughly eight-month period in which much of the nation observes Daylight Saving Time draws to a close and we return to standard time.
The time change occurs at 2 a.m. Sunday morning. That means 2 a.m. will become 1 a.m.
The shift means most in the U.S. will get an extra hour of sleep Saturday night into Sunday and see one less hour of sunlight starting Sunday evening.
The changing of the clocks takes place across a large swath of the country twice a year, once on the second Sunday in March when time “springs forward” to the eight-month daylight saving period, and again on the first Sunday in November when it “falls back” to standard for about four months of the year.
Whichever way the time changes, it can take a few days to properly adjust your schedule and body.
