For most of the nation it's time to fall back.
For one night, the shift to standard time will give people an extra hour of sleep as clocks are set back one hour at 2 a.m. Sunday, local time.
It also means this is the weekend that the millions who work overnight shifts are on the job an hour extra.
For most people, though, it simply means having to remember to set the clock back an hour before retiring Saturday night.
The time change is not taking place in Arizona, Hawaii, the part of Indiana in the Eastern time zone, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and American Samoa. All stay on standard time year round.
Daylight-saving time returns on April 4.
