It is again that time of the year when days are shorter.

Daylight savings time ends on Nov. 3. That means fewer hours to work in the garden or on the lawn before nightfall, so plan accordingly.

If you enjoy a good night’s sleep, don’t forget a critical, but simple task of setting back the clock on Saturday night.

Early Sunday morning, Daylight Savings Time ends so residents should remember to “fall back” and set their clocks back by one hour, or else they may be really early to everything on Sunday.

After the switch, our clocks will remain set this way until March 9, 2025, when we’ll switch back to Daylight Savings Time again.

Whether you’re one who likes the longer days or waking up later, don’t worry. They’ll switch back to standard time once again on Nov. 2, 2025.

Many who prefer that we decide to either spring forward or fall back and stay that way — regardless of which — will be the ones who are indefinitely disappointed.

On a positive note, with modern smart technology — namely cell phones — fixing our clocks for us while we enjoy a quiet night’s rest, there will be fewer who get confused and show up an hour early or an hour late during these changes.

But for those who still use the good old-fashioned alarm clock and need to manually punch in the numbers, remember to set them back an hour.
