It's that time of year again. The clocks will be set back an hour this Sunday, Nov. 5 at 2 a.m., ending Daylight Saving Time for most of the country.
And while many will welcome gaining one hour, the time change could mean some challenges. Below are some tips to help you ease into it:
1. DRIVING AND WALKING
AAA says the end of Daylight Saving Time means increased driving dangers. "Fall Back" means sun glare for the morning commute and earlier darkness for the evening. The earlier darkness will make poorly lit or unlit roads risky to motorists and pedestrians.

Drivers should approach crosswalks and intersections with care. Before turning, check for cyclists and pedestrians. Make sure your vehicle headlights, taillights and signal lights work properly. And clean windshields, replace worn wiper blades, and refill fluid reservoirs.
Pedestrians walking in the evening should wear reflective gear and carry flashlights. Walk against traffic, but bicycle ride with traffic. Cross at corners, not in mid-block.
