On Sunday we all fall back in time. Except for Arizona and Hawaii, residents in the United States must set their clock back one hour on November 6 at 2:00 a.m. If you own a home automation system, such as an Omni by HAI, it will conveniently adjust for you.
The end of Daylight Savings is also the time to change the batteries in your wireless and electrician-installed hardwired smoke detectors. Statistics have shown that nearly two-thirds of all home fire deaths in 2005 through 2009 resulted in fires without working smoke alarms, which include those with dead or no batteries. Your Atronic Alarms' hardwired smoke detectors have their battery backup in the alarm panel.
Daylight Savings originated with the theory that it would help with energy conservation. Still to this day it brings controversy, from sleep disturbance to energy offset methods. Either way, most of us get an extra hour of sleep this Sunday morning.
