WASHINGTON (AP) — No need to lose sleep over the shift to dayshift saving time (Daylight Saving Time [DST]), this weekend. The sun will still come up, though the dawn’s early light will break through later than it has during standard time and the twilight’s last gleaming will extend deeper into the evening. The annual shift comes at 2 a.m. local time Sunday in most of the United States.

Graphic is a reminder to turn the clocks ahead one hour

Don’t forget to set your clocks an hour ahead, usually before bed Saturday night, to avoid being late for Sunday morning activities. No time change is observed in Hawaii, most of Arizona, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas. Standard time returns Nov. 7.

And yes, it is said “Daylight Saving Time,” not “Savings” Time.
