It’s The End to Daylight Savings Time Nov 3, 2024

It's the time of year to fall back and enjoy an extra hour of sleep but the days will also start to get shorter.

It's the winter solstice, it is time to change the clocks to allow for an extra hour of daylight in the morning. While most of our country will make the change Sunday, it is not consistent with the rest of the world. I say most of the country as Hawaii and Arizona do not use DST

Daylight Savings Time is also a good time to do some changes around the house. Changing the batteries in smoke detectors will keep them fresh and working  right.
Some people also use it as a time to change filters around the house as in their furnaces.

So, if you are out partying on Sat make those changes before you go to sleep so that you can be on time for those Sunday appointments.

Patricia Feager, ABR,CRS,GRI,MRP   The time change is never acceptable for the temporary disruption it causes. However, remembering to change batteries and air filters is one good thing about it.

Hello Ed - it's actually more common these days to find me waking before 2AM than to retire after that designated hour.  During the Fall seasonal time shift or when it occurs in the Spring.

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 - actually, quite the opposite.  Early to bed, early to rise is my typical schedule.

Bring it on, Ed!   I love the end of DST personally.   Extra  sleep is always nice too.

Good morning Ed,

I am ready to grab an extra hour of sleep and tomorrow I can leave earlier for my walk because it will be light out!

Nov 02, 2024 05:02 AM
Ed Silva, 203-206-0754

Dorie Dillard Austin TX   My logic is the early daylight is a safe way for kids to wait for buses and get to school.

Good morning Ed. It is time to eliminate daylight savings time. That is my humble opinion. Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin   In the summer I do appreciate the lateness of darkness, I can remember being in Grand Rapids Michigan, just the other side of the lake and it was daylight almost to 10 PM as that was how close to Central time.

Good morning, Ed... personally, I can't wait to get back that hour of sleep that I was robbed of months ago! I have to control myself not to start turning back those clocks too early!

Nov 02, 2024 06:12 AM
Ed Silva, 203-206-0754

Nina Hollander, Broker  the body clock adjusts, and all gets normal after a few days except for the grumbling.

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 good morning, Ed... for some reason my body clock takes a good two weeks to adjust to DST. That's why I hate it so much.

Nina Hollander, Broker   get stronger batteries!

Hello Ed,  I guess I do not all going around and changing all the clocks, I will not be doing it at 2 am tonight

Ed, had to put it on the calendar, but most of the clocks are digital, and won't need to do many.

Ed I will enjoy the extra hour sleep, BUT I would rather they take away these CRAZY time changes.

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754

George Souto  I would refer to keep DST even though it makes for darker mornings.

Hi Ed- even thought I could get an extra hour's sleep, my body clock will make sure I'm awake.

Lucky for me my phone did it automatically for me since I am in Philly now and the time actually changed, unlike what I am used to when I am in Arizona, haha.

Yes it is the end of Daylight savings time for 48 states, but AZ an Hawaii always stay on standard time.  Another reason why I love living here in AZ.  By the way, outstanding tips for those who must fall back.

I have a clock next to my bed that changes from Daylight Savings Time to Regular Time automatically. And I can put my phone on top of the clock and it will charge my phone so it is ready to go in the morning.

I made sure that all the clocks that needed adjusted were taken care of before I went to bed last lignt.

Great advice about changing the batteries in the smoke alarms, Ed and while I wish the time would remain the same, longer days and shorter nights but it is not up to me. Sigh...
