Daylight Saving Time 2015: When It Gets Dark In Norristown

By KAYLA STEWART and JUSTIN HEINZE

Not too long from now, we can sleep in an extra hour as we “fall back” into Daylight Standard Time.

Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, which means you’ll want to turn your old-school clocks back before you go to bed Saturday night, Oct. 31. Of course, the change is automatic for most smartphones, computers, tablets and other digital devices.

Daylight saving time is the practice of setting the clocks forward one hour during the summer months, and back again in the fall, in order to make better use of natural daylight.

The good news for the early risers is that sunrise will be about an hour earlier and there will be more light in the mornings, but it also means sunset in Pennsylvania will be at 4:59 p.m. on November 1
