    Funny, my dog does that too...

    I'm looking forward to the extra hour of sleep, especially since I have to be at work 4 am Sunday :(

    This Saturday night / Sunday morning, groggy Americans will turn their clocks back one hour, marking the end of Daylight Saving Time (DST).

    Arizona (with the exception of the Navajo Nation) and Hawaii and the territories of Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa are the only places in the U.S. that do not observe DST but instead stay on "standard time" all year long. And if you've spent any time in the sweltering summer sun in those regions you can understand why residents don't need another hour of sunlight.

    Confused yet?

    About three years ago, it switched to the first Sunday in November. Some places outside the US still do it the last week of October. Check that link for specific information.
