Southwest Missouri Prepares for Daylight Saving Time Shift
As temperatures drop and leaves change color in Southwest Missouri, residents prepare to "fall back" on the clocks this Sunday when Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends at 2:00 a.m.
Clocks will shift back one hour, granting an extra hour of sleep but ushering in earlier sunsets.

Daylight Saving Time has roots dating back over a century. While often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, who jokingly proposed waking Parisians earlier to save candle wax in 1784, the concept gained traction during World War I.
