Daylight savings, saved a little bit of sunlight. Find out when the sun will set and how many hours of daylight you have.

You're probably still getting used to that extra hour from when daylight savings ended.

But, with the hours of daylight dwindling and the clock changing, your internal clock may be a little off. The amount of daylight is decreasing pretty quickly.
