When do we put the clocks back?
Prior to 2007, people the United States always set their clocks forward an hour on the first Sunday in April and set their clocks back an hour on the last Sunday in October to observe Daylight Savings Time rules. However, as of the year 2007, Daylight Savings Time began to change and is now in place between the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November a change of only a few weeks. In 2007, the clocks will be set back on November 4th. This change was made as a result of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which was designed to lower the use of energy for heating and illuminating homes.
