Fall back

Those who thought they could get an extra hour of sleep this weekend must be dreaming.

Calgarians eager to turn their clocks back to standard time will have to wait until next weekend as daylight savings time now ends a week later than usual.

Instead of the last Sunday in October, clocks "fall back" on Sunday, Nov. 4, giving trick-or-treaters extra daylight to collect their goodies Oct. 31.

As a result of changes first adopted in the U.S. in 2005 and by the Alberta government last year, in an effort to conserve energy, daylight savings time began three weeks earlier this spring, on the second Sunday in March, and will extend to the first Sunday in November
