It’s almost time to turn back the clocks.

The end of daylight saving time is coming — and along with it, an extra hour of sleep. The seasonal time change occurs Sunday, Nov. 7 at 2 a.m., according to Farmer’s Almanac.

The return of standard time means the sun will rise a little earlier, and that it’ll be dark by the time most people get out of work for the day.

Daylight Act

Earlier this year, Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, introduced the Daylight Act. If passed, the bill would let states choose to make daylight saving time permanent, the Deseret News reported.

• “Nobody wants to reset their clocks twice a year. This is an unpopular, outdated practice that does nothing but confuse our schedules. It’s time the federal government let the states decide,” Stewart said earlier this year in a statement provided to the Deseret News.

Hawaii and Arizona are the only two U.S. states that do not observe daylight saving time and operate on standard time year-round. The two states can’t move to a permanent daylight saving time schedule without action by Congress, the Deseret News reported.

Eliminating daylight saving time

Several studies have linked changing the clocks twice a year to issues like heart problems, depression, negative effects on sleep and car crashes, the Deseret News reported.

Last year, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine spoke in favor of eliminating daylight saving time, Democrat and Chronicle reported.

• “Permanent, year-round time is the best choice to most closely match our circadian sleep-wake cycle,” Public Safety Committee Vice Chair Dr. M. Adeel Rishi said in a statement, according to Democrat and Chronicle. “Daylight saving time results in more darkness in the morning and more light in the evening, disrupting the body’s natural rhythm.”

When does daylight saving time start again?

Daylight saving time begins again on March 13, 2022, USA Today reported.

Sources - Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott will be a game-time decision for SNF - ESPN

2:46 PM ET

The Dallas Cowboys will take their decision on Dak Prescott's availability for Sunday's contest against the Minnesota Vikings to game time, two sources told ESPN's Ed Werder.

"We are literally going to take it into tomorrow [night]," one source said.

Officially Prescott is listed as questionable because of a calf strain he suffered on the game-winning touchdown pass in overtime against the New England Patriots on Oct. 17. He did not take any team snaps during the week in the regular practices, but he did take them in all of the walkthroughs.

The Cowboys went through what they call their "launch" practice, a fast-paced workout, before flying to Minneapolis on Saturday afternoon.

On Thursday, Prescott said that he wanted to play but that the decision would not be totally his. Dallas will rely heavily on Prescott and director of rehabilitation Britt Brown, who oversaw the quarterback's comebacks from the fracture and dislocation of his right ankle and the right latissimus strain he suffered in training camp, before making a decision.

Although he wants to play, Prescott acknowledged that the decision needs to be based on what's best for a full season. The Cowboys have won five straight games and have a commanding lead in the NFC East, but they currently sit fourth in the conference playoff standings behind the Green Bay Packers, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, whom they lost to in the season opener, and the Arizona Cardinals.

On Friday, coach Mike McCarthy said Prescott was sore after he pushed his rehab work harder on Thursday.

"We're obviously in our seventh game. There's a ton of football left to play," McCarthy said. "That's definitely part of the decision, and we're just giving him the time that's needed to take it all in."

If Prescott does not play, then Cooper Rush would make the first start of his career and Will Grier would serve as the backup. If Prescott does start, then it is possible the Cowboys will dress all three quarterbacks against the Vikings.

Rush took all of the first-team snaps in practice this week, but he has thrown just three passes in his career and none since his rookie season in 2017.

"This is what you work for as a player," Rush said. "This is what you want to do. You want to go out and play on Sunday. Your whole life you've been waiting to do it, and that's what you work hard for to prepare for. So it would mean a lot to go out there with my teammates and keep this thing rolling like we've been."
