WASHINGTON (AP) - That time already?

Come Sunday, standard time would again be the standard in America.

Switching time: 2 a.m. Sunday, local time, when clocks need to be set back an hour.

Good news for most folks - an extra hour of sleep. Bad news for workers on the overnight shift - more work time.

Some states and territories don't observe daylight-saving time, so they don't have to switch back. That's the case in Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas.

Daylight-saving time returns March 13.
