CLEVELAND — It's that time of the year again.

Every autumn , like clockwork (pun intended!), we turn our clocks back one hour — a tradition known as the end of Daylight Saving Time. But why do we do it?

By shifting an hour of sunlight from the morning to the evening, people could enjoy more daylight after work — and save on energy costs. But come fall, the days get shorter, and that extra evening light isn’t as useful. So we “fall back,” returning to standard time to make mornings a little brighter.

Love it or hate it, that extra hour of sleep in November is one small perk of a system that’s all about making the most of daylight.
