Say Goodbye To Daylight Savings Time On Sunday

Everyone gets an extra hour of daylight beginning Sunday morning, as the clocks fall back one hour.

At 2 a.m. Sunday, Daylight Savings Time officially ends, and the clocks get turned back an hour. Many of us will go through the house that evening, manually turning back those ancient timepieces that do not automatically reset themelves.

Remember, you'll "fall back" by setting your clocks back one hour. Many electronic devices automatically adjust when Daylight Saving Time begins or ends.

When you change your clocks in the fall and spring, it’s also a good time to change smoke detector batteries and check to make sure other devices are in working order.

What will you do with your extra hour? Take a walk? Sleep in? Read up on the ballot measures? Tell us in the comments. 

Arizona, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa do not observe Daylight Saving Time.
