The easiest way to remember what to do with your clock in the Fall and Spring is the adage, Spring Forward and Fall Back, so as we get to fall, you guessed it, we are falling back.

Will Washington Ever Stop Changing Clocks?

The idea behind DST is to make better use of daylight during the longer days of summer, reducing the need for artificial lighting in the evening.
