Whether you like it or not, we change our clocks back this weekend! This will bring big changes to our sunrise and sunsets. Before you go to bed Saturday night you’ll want to set your clocks back an hour.

Most devices will automatically change this for you, but ovens, microwaves, old cars and wall clocks will need to be set back an hour before bed on Saturday! This is because 2 a.m. becomes 1 a.m. on Sunday morning, which means we actually get an extra hour of sleep. This is also a good time to change the batteries on your smoke and CO2 alarms.

This extra hour of sleep means big changes for our sunrise and sunset. Early risers typically love this time change because our sunrise is in the 6AM hour starting Sunday. Night owls often do not like the time change as our sunset will also be an hour earlier at 5:32PM.

So what do you think? Do you prefer the earlier sunrises or the later sunsets?

Daylight saving time will begin again on Mar. 9, 2025.
