Most people in the United States change clocks forward by 60 minutes before heading to bed Saturday night due to Daylight Saving Time, but officials recommend keeping other things in mind, too.

Experts say it’s also a good time to replace batteries in smoke detectors and other devices.

At least one governor even used the occasion as a reminder to avoid drowsy driving, as the change in clocks means losing an hour of sleep.

  1. Daylight Saving Time: What should I do? It officially begins at 2 a.m. Sunday local time. Move the clocks forward an hour. It might even be good to do it before going to sleep Saturday night. Yeah, it’s a bummer you’ll lose some sleep. But think positively: You’ll gain an extra hour of sun in the evenings.

  2. Who doesn’t make the change? Daylight Saving Time isn’t observed by most of Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas.

  3. When does it end? You’ll switch clocks back an hour Nov. 1.

  4. Should I change my smoke detector, too? Ohio Fire Marshal Larry Flowers is among the many who say changing the clocks is a good reminder to also change smoke-detector batteries. In fact, he says people should replace the smoke detector itself if it’s over 10 years old.

Illinois Fire Marshal Larry Matkaitis said it’s also a good time to help children recognize the sound of a smoke detector and to practice an emergency exit.

  1. Why is New York sounding its own alarm? Gov. Andrew Cuomo said highway message boards throughout the state will carry the message: “Stay Awake, Stay Alive.” In 2013, 3,244 crashes in New York involved a driver who fell asleep; drowsiness or fatigue contributed to another 1,228 crashes.

Some of the state’s tips: Turn on the radio, open a car window or, if these don’t work, pull over and sleep.

  1. Are there any other effects from Daylight Saving Time? Indeed. Researchers have found that changing the clocks forward combats childhood obesity (more daylight to run around in the evening) and improves public safety (it’s easier to drive when there’s light), the Los Angeles Times reports. The bad news is that Daylight Saving Time can be more stressful and lead to more fatigue at work right after the switch, researchers also found.[/details]

I can’t forget. Time change is when we gets to do system maintenance! And next time, we get an extra hour!

10

At this point i think the only thing in my life that doesnt automatically do this is my microwave and stove

11

I swear my coworker will use this as an excuse to be late.

Not that he never needed an excuse before, but this is more convenient for him.

12

There are always those fuckers that like to pretend they forgot, even when they had like 50 reminders, and all pc’s and phones automatically update the time (I know, I watched my phone go from 1:59 to 3:00).

I remember a couple years ago when I worked at walmart, ATT’s service glitched out when changing over to daylight savings so everyone’s phones had fucked up times which caused their alarms to go off either really early or really late. I went to work 3 hours early because of it. Luckily I wasn’t alone. No one realized what had happened until they got to the time station to clock in. People supposed to be coming in at 6am coming in at 3am and shit.

I guess niggas is hard up these days for their cans of PBR.
