(MSC News)--It's time to “ fall back” as Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday.
Don't forget to set your clocks back an hour before going to bed Saturday night.
The time change will officially “ fall back” at 2:00 Sunday morning, creating darkness earlier in the evenings and more daylight during the early morning.
Fire safety experts also recommend changing batteries in smoke and fire alarms with the time change.
Meanwhile, a new poll finds that most people across the country want to stop the twice-a-year ritual of clock changes.
The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll comes as this weekend marks the end of daylight saving time.
It found that 7 in 10 Americans prefer not to switch back and forth. Four in 10 would like to see their clocks stay on standard time year-round, while about 3 in 10 prefer to stay on daylight saving time. About another 3 in 10 prefer the current back and forth between daylight saving time in the summer and standard time in the winter.
At least seven state legislatures have asked Congress to allow year-round daylight saving time.
