Which way do the clocks go?
Fall back: at 2 a.m. the clock returns to 1 a.m., so the night is an hour longer. Phones and computers change themselves; ovens, cars and wall clocks are on you. Sunrise and sunset both arrive an hour earlier by the clock, which is why the evenings suddenly feel darker.
Why the first Sunday of November?
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 stretched daylight saving time to its current dates — second Sunday of March through the first Sunday of November — starting in 2007. Hawaii and most of Arizona sit the whole thing out and never change their clocks.
