The time changes this weekend. Fall back one hour. In other words, if you go to bed at 11 p.m. on Saturday, change your clocks to 10 p.m. You gain an hour of sleep. There will be more daylight in the mornings, which is a safety factor for children going to school; but, you’ll loose an hour of daylight in the evenings.

With this week’s time change on Sunday, Nov. 4 at 2 a.m., Ohioans will gain an extra hour of sleep. It also means it is getting darker even earlier, reducing visibility and making it more important than ever for motorists to watch out for pedestrians during evening commutes, especially in residential areas and near school, according to Shelly Miller of MOVE Safe Allen County.
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), along with local safety officials, is reminding motorists about the importance of pedestrian safety with the upcoming time change.
2017 was the deadliest in a decade for pedestrians in Ohio.
