Time to set clocks back to standard reckoningOctober 29, 1999
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Say goodbye to daylight-saving time this weekend. Clocks shift back one hour at 2 a.m. Sunday, local time, giving an extra hour of sleep to most people Saturday night -- an extra hour of work to those who work the overnight. And the change means it will be dark an hour earlier Sunday night, Halloween, calling for extra caution on the part of drivers and those watching the children on their rounds. Most people set their clocks back before retiring Saturday evening. Those who don't need to remember to set them back Sunday -- or they'll be an hour out of sync with the rest of the country. If they still haven't remembered to do it by Monday morning, they could be an hour early for work. Daylight-saving time returns April 2. Copyright 1999 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
