How can you set your clocks for standard time?
If your clocks are on Daylight Saving Time (DST), a.k.a. Summer Time, on the weekend when Standard Time resumes, make the time one hour earlier. A popular mnemonic device for remembering which direction to adjust is "spring forward; fall back". On some older clocks you have to advance the time 11 hours.
For example, in North America, every time zone of every country that observes DST except Cuba begins and ends DST at 2:00 AM. That means that on the 1st Sunday of Nov., or on the last Sunday of Oct. in most of Mexico, one minute after 1:59 AM is 1:00 AM. On the east coast of the U.S., one minute after 1:59 AM EDT is 1:00 AM EST, on the U.S. west coast, one minute after 1:59 AM PDT is 1:00 AM PST, and so on. In Europe, every country that observes Summer Time does the time changes at the same time (1 AM UTC), no matter which time zone they're in. So on the last Sunday of Oct., when universal time changes from 00:59 to 01:00, most of Europe changes from 02:59 CEST to 02:00 CET, eastern Europe changes from 03:59 EEST to 03:00 EET, and western Europe changes from 01:59 WEST, BST or IEST (Irish Summer Time) to 01:00 WET or GMT.
There is currently only one place in world where the time change for DST is not one hour. On Australia's Lord Howe Island clocks are adjusted forward one half hour at the beginning of DST (on the first Sunday of October) and turned back one half hour at the end of DST (on the first Sunday of April). Because the southern hemisphere's summer is in the opposite half of the year from the northern hemisphere's summer, the southern hemisphere observes DST during the opposite half of the year from the northern hemisphere.

When did Alaska start observing daylight savings time?
Aside from 9 Feb 1942 to 30 Sep 1945, when all of the United States, including the Territories of Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, was on continuous daylight saving time (DST) due to World War II, Alaska began the annual clock changes in 1969. DST in the United States began on 27 Apr that year. Annette Island was allowed to stay on Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8) year-'round when 99.6% of Alaska was consolidated into one time zone, AKST/AKDT or UTC-9/UTC-8, on 30 Oct 1983, but they switched to Alaska Time, including the annual clock changes, in 2016.
Does daylight savings save money?
Not any more. When it was first introduced, it was done so because public street lighting wasn't as effective as it is now. These days, with modern lighting - there's no real need to switch to daylight saving time.
