WASHINGTON - The good news is an extra hour of sunlight every day just as spring begins to bloom. And the bad news isn’t that bad, just an hour’s less sleep or a curtailed night of revelry.
Pushing the clock forward by 60 minutes during the wee hours of Sunday — at 2 a.m. local time, officially — signals daylight-saving time and, unofficially, an end to winter.
Residents of some parts of the country can ignore the changes. Daylight-saving time isn’t observed in Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas.
Daylight-saving time ends Oct. 29.
