An extra hour of sleep is on the way for most Americans, though the “fall back” to standard time will bring darker afternoons, too.

One tip: Try to get outside for some morning sun — it’ll help your body clock reset faster.

Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, which means you should set your clock back an hour before you go to bed. Standard time will last until March 14, when we will again “spring forward” with the return of daylight saving time.

Core Folklore and Symbols

• Jack-o'-Lanterns: Rooted in the Irish trickster myth of Stingy Jack, who tricked the Devil and was forced to wander the earth with only a glowing coal inside a carved turnip. Irish immigrants later used native American pumpkins.

• Black Cats: Linked to 16th-century English folklore that associated cats with witches, or believed witches could transform into black felines.

• Guising and Soul Cakes: Medieval youth practiced "souling" and "guising," dressing in costume and going door-to-door for food or soul cakes in exchange for prayers for the dead.

• The Will-o'-the-Wisp: Mysterious marsh lights (ignis fatuus) were viewed as wandering souls or tricky spirits trying to lead travelers astray.
