daylight saving time is observed in the early morning hours of Sunday, March 13. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends testing your smoke alarms once a month using the test button and changing the batteries twice a year, which can conveniently be done when we change our clocks for daylight saving time in the spring and fall.

In today’s day and age, not all smoke alarms are designed the same, so ensuring your smoke alarm works properly may take more than replacing a battery.

The following is information from the NFPA to ensure all smoke alarms have working batteries: Kidde smoke and carbon monoxide detector on light wooden surface, Lafayette, California, February 23, 2022.

How long will it take to regain the hour of morning daylight lost to daylight saving time?

advanced by one hour on Sunday, marking the beginning of daylight saving time – a tradition regulated by the Uniform Time Act of 1966.Under federal law, daylight saving time begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November.But that hour of daylight gained in the evening doesn't just miraculously appear with the changing of the clocks. Instead, we're simply moving that hour of daylight from the morning to the evening.Now, instead of the sun coming up between 6 and 7 a.m. and setting around 6 to 7 p.m., it doesn't rise until between 7 and 8 a.m., but it's up much later in the evening until about 7 to 8 p.m.That means many of us are waking up in the dark this week, but the trade-off is that we can eat our dinner in the daylight.FILE - Alarm clocks are showing 2 o'clock and 3 o'clock.
