Spring Forward; Fall back
The simple rule of time change for across Canada is soon to be observed from coast to coast to coast. (Saskatchewan excepted)
The fall ritual of setting the clocks back has arrived, your opportunity to catch one hour's extra sleep on Sunday morning, with the simple backwards swipe of the hour arms , or the reversal of digits on a clock.
For those that wish to treat the shift of time like New Years Eve, the reversal of time arrives at 2 AM Sunday, though most people wisely turn their clocks back as they retire for bed.
And while the shift of sleep patterns is the main aspect of the weekend requirement that people will deal with, caution on the roads on Monday morning, when many return to work or school is recommended as key while we adjust to the new cycle of time.
And as it is every year (since we shifted to the November date) at the start of the month, there's no shortage of information related to the pros and cons of the shifting of time.
