When Do We Get That Extra Hour Of Sleep?
Daylight Savings Time is coming up on Sunday, November 6. We 'fall back' at 2 AM, though most of us will change the clocks before we go to sleep Saturday night, or just wait a few days to make the change. We 'spring forward' on March 12, 2017 at 2:00 a.m.
The Red Cross reminds folks that this is a great time to change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. They also say you should change batteries once a year and replace the detectors every ten years. This is especially important as fireplaces and heaters will be fired up again as the weather gets colder.
