Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday, Nov. 2

It's that time of year again, when we turn back time.

Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday, Nov. 2, at 2 a.m.

So, remember to turn your clocks back one hour before you go to bed Saturday night, and enjoy that extra hour of sleep!

It's also a good time to check the batteries in your smoke alarm and carbon-monoxide detector, unless you've already done so.

In fact, you may want to consider these other items as well:
 

• Flip your mattress.
• Do a spot check on the lights and signals on your car, bike, boat, or other recreational vehicles.
• Switching from air-conditioning to heating is a huge change to your air system. You probably have a year’s worth of dust sitting on the heating coils in your home. So, the first heater use could lead to your home smelling like something is on fire. Pay close attention to this! You don’t want any surprises.
• Medications! Do a spot check on your expiration dates for medicines. You might even decide to check the refrigerator or the pantry too!
