How daylight saving time changes affect you and what you can do about it

Most Americans will soon set clocks back one hour as daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, shifting the U.S. to standard time. Standard time will run until March 14, when clocks “spring forward” again and daylight saving resumes. The article notes that many people struggle more with the spring change, losing sleep, while others miss evening daylight after fall. An AP-NORC poll last year found only 12% of adults support the biannual clock changes, with nearly half opposed. Health groups, including the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, have long urged staying on standard time year-round for circadian rhythm alignment.
