Clocks across much of the United States will fall back once again Sunday as daylight saving time comes to an end.

Congress and some states have tried multiple times this decade to get rid of the twice‑yearly exercise but to no avail.

President Donald Trump has expressed support for ending the time changes, arguing that permanent daylight saving time would allow for more daylight to parallel daytime habits while shrinking after‑hours activity, including crime.

Many health and sleep experts argue against it, citing risks to health and safety.

The extra hour gained on Sunday means clocks jump from one fifty‑nine a.m. back to one a.m., and earlier sunsets will darken evenings until spring.
