Southwest Missouri Prepares for Daylight Saving Time Shift
As temperatures drop and leaves change color in Southwest Missouri, residents prepare to "fall back" on the clocks this Sunday when Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends at 2:00 a.m.
Clocks will shift back one hour, granting an extra hour of sleep but ushering in earlier sunsets.
A Brief History of Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time has roots dating back over a century, with the concept gaining traction during World War I.
Benjamin Franklin jokingly proposed waking Parisians earlier to save candle wax in 1784.
The practice of advancing clocks by one hour in spring and setting them back in fall sparks curiosity about its history and impact on the region.
