[KHTS] – Santa Clarita residents should get ready to “fall back” an hour this weekend because daylight saving time will officially end on Sunday.

Clocks will be falling back an hour at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1, 2015, meaning brighter mornings with darker evenings for most Americans.

Places such as Hawaii and most of Arizona are just a few who don’t participate in this annual change.

The time shown on the clock from November to March is known as “standard time” in the Northern hemisphere, according to a CNN article. The rest of the year is considered the exception, or “saving time.”

The following are tips to help transition back to standard time with ease, provided by CNN:

Don’t Stay Up Late
When clocks are set back each fall, “your circadian rhythms will cause you to want to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier than your external environment,” said Dr. Rosen in an interview with CNN. “One of the biggest mistakes that people make … is staying up later and thinking that they’re going to get an extra hour of sleep.”

Because your circadian rhythms may wake you early Sunday morning, it’s important not to count on that extra snooze time.

Use The Sun
The fall time change is easier than the spring, particularly for those who work standard daylight hours, since you’re able to hack your sunlight exposure, Rosen said.

Try to get as much late afternoon sun exposure before switching the clocks back, and as much morning sun exposure as possible after switching the clocks to help ease the transition.

Take Your Time
“If you work a non-traditional schedule, or have a little extra time in the morning, it might ease the transition if you go to sleep and wake up 10-15 minutes later each day the week before the time change,” said Rosen.

As always, adding a nap can help fend off drowsiness for anyone still struggling with the switch back to standard time.

Benjamin Franklin first conceived the idea for daylight saving in 1784 letter to a French journal, suggesting that Parisians could save thousands of francs annually by waking up earlier in the summer so they wouldn’t have to buy so many candles to light the evening hours, according to a CNN article.

The United States didn’t adopt the practice until the 20th century, for a brief time during World War I, again during World War II and on a state-by-state basis in the years after the war, according to a CNN article. It became a national policy beginning in 1966.

Daylight saving is observed in dozens of other countries as well.
