Fall back: Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m., Sunday, Nov. 1
Share this Story(Oct. 30, 2015) — Clocks must be set back one hour as Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends for the year at 2 a.m., Sunday, Nov. 1. As the saying goes, remember to fall back one hour.
UTSA employees working during the change to standard time will receive credit for nine hours worked for that completed shift and must be reflected on the employee time record.
Work adjustments within the seven-day workweek may be made by departmental supervisors to prevent the accrual of overtime or state compensatory time.
What is the effect of the time shift?
- For some, the shift of one hour of daylight from the evening to the morning requires only minor adjustment, but for others the adjustment period can take weeks.
- Because the body's inner clock (circadian rhythms) is abruptly unable to sync up with its external environment, it can result in fatigue, sleeplessness, irritability and other discomforts.
- On the flip side, some experts believe that DST can actually help alleviate depression because people must get up earlier when the time changes.
