Comments. Daylight Saving Time (DST) is this weekend, which means we gain an hour of sleep Sunday morning. Clocks will turn back an hour at 2 a.m., marking the beginning of Standard Time. What this means is the days will have one less hour of daylight in the evening for the next four months. Standard Time is used through March 8, when we'll make the transition back to Daylight Saving Time. Of course, most smart phones, computers and cable boxes make the change automatically these days.
