This weekend marks the end of Daylight Saving Time, meaning clocks will "fall back" an hour early Sunday morning. At 2 AM, time will officially reset to 1 AM, giving most of us an extra hour of sleep. But while the change can bring a welcome bit of rest, experts say it can also disrupt our body clocks and routines.

The switch to Standard Time means shorter days and longer nights, which can impact mood, energy levels, and even road safety, as commutes home will now be darker for many. To help adjust smoothly, sleep experts suggest winding down earlier the night before the change and limiting screen time to help your internal clock reset.

The Taylorville Fire Department is also urging residents, no matter where they are, to check their smoke alarms and Carbon monoxide detectors this weekend—daylight Saving Time returns on March 10th, when we'll spring forward again for brighter evenings. But until then, remember to set your clocks back one hour before heading to bed Saturday night.
