The annual transition to standard time begins this weekend as millions of Americans adjust their clocks backward on the morning of November 1st. Known as "falling back," this practice shifts daylight hours later in the day, extending evening light but shortening morning daylight. The change can disrupt sleep patterns and routines, prompting reminders to reset both clocks and schedules. While some debate its necessity, the tradition remains in place for most of the country.
