Get ready to switch your clocks back.\nDaylight saving time ends this Sunday, unlike past years when the change occurred on the last Sunday in October.\nIndiana will turn its clocks back one hour at 2 a.m. Sunday. Daylight saving will return at 2 a.m. Mar. 9 next year.\nThe change to the first weekend in November is a result of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The conditions of the law also mandate that daylight saving time begin the second Sunday of March, three weeks earlier than previous years. March of this year marked the first time the law was put into effect.\nFive Indiana counties on Central Standard Time will move to Eastern Standard Time when daylight saving time ends, including Davies, Dubois, Knox, Martin and Pike counties. \nAccording to University Information Technology Services, people may need to upload the newest available updates for their mobile devices to ensure their clocks are synchronized with the time change.
