[move] the clock back
1
to adjust the time on a clock by moving it backward, typically by one hour, to account for the end of daylight saving time
- It's that time of the year when we need to move the clock back one hour to revert to standard time after daylight saving time.
- Remember to move your clock back before you go to bed on the last day of daylight saving time to ensure you're not an hour early for your appointments.
- I always move the clock back in my bedroom when daylight saving time ends to enjoy an extra hour of sleep.
- Don't forget to move the clock back on your phone when you wake up tomorrow.
