It’s time to “fall back” again this weekend and to set your clocks back one hour when you go to bed tonight.
Daylight saving time ends for most of the country, as standard time officially begins at 2 a.m. Sunday morning.

In 2007, Congress adjusted daylight saving time to begin three weeks earlier and end one week later — a move they hoped would help save energy.
