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

Daylight Saving Time has roots dating back over a century, with the concept gaining traction during World War I.
