Check your clocks! Tomorrow’s ending of Daylight Savings Time means you get an extra hour of sleep by setting your clock back an hour.

But, the Los Angeles Times wrongly reported that clocks move forward tomorrow morning because of Daylight Saving Time changes.

The Nov. 1 correction reads:

“[For the record, 9:27 p.m. Nov. 1: An earlier version of this post said clocks would be moved forward on Sunday morning to return to Standard Time from Daylight Saving Time. Clocks should be moved back an hour.]”
