Lose hour of sleep, gain hour of evening light for months
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Lose an hour of sleep this weekend, gain an hour of evening light for months ahead: Daylight saving time is back.
Set those clocks 60 minutes ahead before you hit the hay Saturday night. The time change officially starts Sunday at 2 a.m. local time.
Consider putting in new batteries in warning devices such as smoke detectors and radios — and repeat the exercise when standard time returns Nov. 6.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The time change is not observed in Hawaii, most of Arizona, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas.
