'Fall Back' Daylight Savings to Take Effect Early Sunday
Most Americans will get a chance at an extra hour of sleep this weekend: clocks fall back to standard time.
It's the last time this will happen in October.
Because of a law passed last year, daylight-saving time will start earlier and end later beginning in 2007. It will last from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.
The clock change switches an hour of daylight from evening to morning.
The official change occurs at 2 a.m. Sunday, though most folks will make the change before going to bed Saturday night.
Some states and territories don't observe daylight-saving time. Those are Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas.
