Set Your Clocks Back This Weekend

This year, the time to set the clocks back by one hour is 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 2. You know the drill by now — it’s going to get darker an hour earlier and you get extra sleep. This is also a good time to check the batteries on smoke alarms.

Some people are in favor of ending daylight saving time changes, like this Alabama legislator. Do you agree with him?
