This is the weekend we get back that hour of sleep we lost last spring.
Officially at 2 a.m. Sunday, most of the country turns its clocks back one hour to return to standard time.
This is also the time of year that both the Missouri and Illinois State Fire Marshals remind us to check the batteries in our smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Daylight savings time returns March 11th, 2018.
