This Sunday, daylight saving time ends, sending clocks rolling back one hour at 2 a.m. local time and nudging much of the country into standard time for the winter months.

When the shift hits, most Americans’ clocks will “fall back,” effectively gaining an extra hour of sleep overnight, but also facing darker afternoons with earlier sunsets, the Associated Press said .

Experts say the change is less jarring than the spring forward transition, but some people may still feel temporary sleep disturbances or mood shifts, according to AP.

The Chicago Sun-Times said sleep specialists advise easing into the time change by gradually adjusting bedtimes in the nights leading up to Sunday, exposing yourself to morning light on the first day and avoiding extra caffeine in the afternoon.
