Most Americans put their clocks back over the weekend, as Daylight Saving Time ended. Clocks should have been turned back one hour. However, a new survey has found that 11% of Americans set their clocks “forward” rather than “back” at the end of Daylight Saving Time. The Rasmussen Reports survey also found that 27% of adults admitted to being late or early because they did not keep the Daylight Savings method correctly. Another 5% said they are not sure whether to turn the clocks back or forward. The change became official at 2 a.m. on Sunday local time. Americans gain an extra hour of sleep once summer time officially ends – if they set their clocks correctly.
