People put their clocks back to mark the end of Daylight Saving Time, which occurs in the autumn when we transition from longer daylight hours to shorter ones. By setting the clocks back an hour, we gain an extra hour of daylight in the morning during the darker winter months.

In autumn (fall) and winter there is less sunlight than in the spring and summer. Therefore it is important that people make the most of the hours when there is sunlight. Putting the clock back gives an extra hour of sunlight in the morning.
