Tonight is the night! Daylight Saving Time starts at 2:00am Sunday morning. So if you want to get anywhere on time tomorrow (and not an hour late), turn your clocks ahead one hour before you go to bed tonight - there's no need to set your alarm for 2:00, reset all the clocks and then go back to bed. You can do it early. It's okay. And don't forget to reset the clock in your car, like I always do.
One other thing - this is also a great time to replace the batteries in all your smoke detectors. You have more than 1 right? You should. And ideally, if one goes off, they all go off. Smoke detectors save lives.
When I was 10, my house burned down. Everyone was fine, no need to worry. BUT we were fine because we were lucky. The fire happened at 3:30pm, not 3:30am. At the time, we only had one smoke detector and it was back by the bedrooms. The fire started in the garage. After the fire was out, the firemen told my parents that the smoke detector didn't go off until they were on the roof cutting through it with chainsaws in order to to put out the fire. If that had happened at 3:30am, we might not have been so lucky.
So turn your clocks ahead tonight and replace your smoke detector batteries too!
