So that being said make sure you change your time tonight before you go to bed ; you need to jump an hour up…….
Be sure to Check and replace the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms. Replace any smoke alarms older than ten years. Replace any CO alarms older than five years.

The idea of daylight saving time was conceived by Benjamin Franklin during his sojourn as an American delegate in Paris in 1784.
The plan was formally adopted in the U.S. on March 19, 1918 in “‘An Act to preserve daylight and provide standard time for the United States.”
The phrase “daylight saving time” is inaccurate, since no daylight is actually saved. Daylight Shifting Time would be better, but it is not politically desirable.
On Halloween, children’s pedestrian deaths are four times higher than on any other night of the year. In order to provide trick-or-treaters more light and therefore more safety from traffic accidents, a law to extend DST to the first Sunday in November took effect in 2007.
More light in the evening is favorable for a low crime rate. During DST, violent crime goes down 10 to 13 percent.
