Take an extra hour off this weekend

Standard time returns across the United States at 2 a.m. Sun., Oct. 29 when clocks should be turned back one hour. Daylight-saving time has been in effect since the first Sunday in April.

A few areas in the U.S., not many, stay on standard time throughout the year.

Daylight-saving time was created to give more hours of sunlight for leisuretime activities during the summer months and as a means to save energy.
