ABC News reports that this weekend clocks get turned back an hour early Sunday morning as Daylight Savings Time ends this year. At 2 a.m. Sunday, clocks get turned back to 1 a.m., putting the United States back on standard time. Dr. Phyllis Zee, a sleep researcher at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, says “falling back” and gaining an extra hour is generally easier on the body than “springing forward" and losing one. Molly Hart, spokeswoman for AAA's Auto Club Group, warns that there are more road accidents after a time change. Hart said, “With daylight savings coming to an end, what people really need to be focused on is their driving now in the afternoon when it’s darker earlier,” and when they may be feeling drowsy."
