Aussies Gain Extra Hour Sleep as Daylight Saving Ends

0:00It's March 28th. This is Sydney News Today, driven by AI. Aussies in five states and territories are about to gain an extra hour of sleep as daylight saving wraps up this Sunday, April 5th. At 3 a.m. local time, clocks turned back to 2 a.m. in the Australian capital territory, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, and Victoria. Meanwhile, folks in Queensland, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory skipped this change altogether since they don't observe daylight saving. That extra hour hits right on Easter Sunday, which lines up with the usual first Sunday and April to keep things smooth for schools and businesses, starting Monday. Daylight saving kicks back in on Sunday, October 4th, but heads up. Search engines might show different dates because the US and UK run their own. Schedules, like ending in November or October. So set those clocks back tonight and enjoy the bonus shut-eye before the cooler days settle in fully.
