Before going to bed Saturday night, remember you’ll lose an hour of sleep due to the return of Daylight Saving Time.
So set your clocks ahead an hour, and get ready to enjoy eight months of later sunsets.
DST officially begins at 2 a.m. Sunday, and lasts through Nov. 3, with sunrises beginning an hour later, and sunsets an hour later accordingly.
Standard Time is still the norm in 48 states from November-March—Arizona and Hawaii observe it year-round.

His bill passed the Senate in 2022 but hasn’t been up for a vote in the House.
Rubio renewed his call for passage this week, in light of 45 states—including Georgia—considering similar legislation.
“We’re ‘springing forward’ but should have never ‘fallen back,’ ” he said.
