If you're sleep deprived, consider this your lucky weekend. You'll get an extra hour of sleep as most of Canada "falls back", switching from daylight saving time to standard time.

Remember to set your clocks back one hour before going to bed tonight.

The change actually comes into effect at precisely 2 a.m.

Fire departments are reminding people that the switch is a good time to change the batteries in your smoke detector.

Daylight saving time returns in the spring, on March 14th.

Saskatchewan is a notable Canadian exception to the fall time change, with the province staying on standard time year-round.
