HOUSTON (CW39) – Get ready to “fall back,” Houston. We have an extra hour of sleep and a slightly brighter morning for Sunday!
Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday, November 2 at 2 a.m. Here is what you need to do. Move your non-internet connected clocks back one hour.
Most smartphones and smart devices update automatically, but it’s a good idea to double-check kitchen clocks, watches, and car dashboards before bed Saturday night.
Other action items you should do this weeked include:
Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
Check expiration dates on fire extinguishers
Inspect space heaters and HVAC filters before cooler weather sets in
Review your home escape plan.
Change out the batteries in your weather radio
Are sunrise and sunset times going to change after the time change?
Houston’s sunrise will be around 6:35 a.m. and sunset near 5:30 p.m. That means earlier daylight for the morning commute but much darker evenings for after-school activities, walks, and evening events.
Enjoy the extra hour of rest!
