Daylight Savings Time Ends On Sunday Morning

Things will get brighter a little earlier starting Sunday, as it's time to turn back the clocks again.

Daylight Savings Time officially ends on Sunday at 2 a.m., causing us to once again find and reset those ancient timepieces that do not automatically reset themselves. 

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.
