WASHINGTON - It's time to say goodbye to daylight-saving time. <br>
<br>
Clocks shift back an hour to standard time at two a-m Sunday, local time. <br>
<br>
That'll give an extra hour of sleep to most people Saturday night - and an extra hour of work for those on the overnight shift. <br>
<br>
And the change means it'll be dark an hour earlier next week when Halloween arrives. <br>
<br>
Officials are calling for extra caution on the part of drivers - and parents watching children on their trick-or-treating rounds. <br>
<br>
Most people set their clocks back before going to bed Saturday evening. <br>
<br>
Those who don't must remember to set them back Sunday - or they'll be an hour out of sync with the rest of the community. <br>
<br>
If they still haven't remembered to do it by Monday morning, they could be an hour early for work.
