Are You Ready to Fall Back on Sunday?

Daylight Saving Time is ending, and clocks will have to turn back Nov. 4. Do you like the process?

By Joy Putnam

Soon it will be that time again -- time to "fall back" in 2012.

The annual end to Daylight Saving Time comes early in November -- Sunday, Nov. 4, to be exact. At 2 a.m. that day, time goes back an hour. So forewarned is forearmed.

That does not apply if you live in Arizona or Hawaii, which do not recognize Daylight Saving Time. Ditto for all of Asia, the world's most populous continent.

In Europe, the time fell back on Sunday, Oct. 28.
