Daylight saving time ends this Sunday, so don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour.
Many people think they'll get an extra hour of sleep, but experts say that's not true. "All we are doing is basically shifting the clock," said Dr. Vaishal Shah, a sleep specialist at the Cleveland Clinic.
There are fewer harmful effects during the fall transition than the spring, but people still report experiencing poorer sleep and feeling groggy for days after falling back.
