Time on Retreat This Weekend in US With Standard Time Return

by Associated Press

   WASHINGTON --

   Time marches ahead, usually. It's in retreat this weekend in the United
   States.

   At 2 a.m. local time Sunday, daylight saving time is ending, and
   standard time returns for most people across the country. It means an
   extra hour of sleep, perchance to dream, for one night.

   The shift means it's lighter earlier in the morning, and darkness comes
   sooner in the evening.

   Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and
   most of Arizona don't observe daylight saving time, so no need to
   change the clocks in those places.

   Daylight saving time returns at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, March 10,
   2019.
