Daylight Saving Time To Do List

By , About.com GuideNovember 1, 2009

Follow me on:

In addition to turning your clocks back one hour last night, some good things to do when daylight saving time changes can include:

  • changing the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors
  • in addition to replacing the batteries, you should consider replacing smoke alarms that are more than ten years old and carbon monoxide detectors that are more than five years old
  • cleaning out your medicine cabinet to get rid of expired and unused medicines

And this can be a good time to make sure your kids are getting enough sleep, as the changes during daylight saving time can sometimes interfere with their sleep routines.
