WASHINGTON >> Most of the mainland is getting ready for the annual fall ritual of turning back clocks by one hour, giving those who relish it an extra hour of sleep this weekend.
Daylight saving time is ending and it’s back to standard time for most people in the United States.
The change comes at 2 a.m. local time Sunday, and the shift moves one hour of daylight to the morning from the evening.
Residents of Hawaii, most of Arizona and some U.S. territories don’t need to fiddle with their clocks because those places don’t observe daylight saving time. Europe made the change last weekend.
That means the time difference between Hawaii and the West Coast will be two hours on Sunday. The East Coast will have a five-hour time difference.
Daylight saving time returns at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, March 12.

Now the stock market will close at 11am instead of 10. Bummer.
Why a bummer? Means you’ll have an extra hour in the morning to trade, invest, speculate, gamble.
In simple language this means “it’s getting cold”.
Short-changed myself this morning by an hour of sleep as my biological clock got me up at 4:30 local time instead of my usual 5:30AM. Forgot to set clocks back an hour consistent with farmers’ Fall harvest demands. That meant had reset 8 watches and clocks in various rooms. The old adage “Fall back and Spring forward” for States adhering to the changes.
