When Does Daylight Saving Time End in 2012?

Wondering whether you'll be "falling back" or "falling forward?" The big time change for 2012 is coming up and will be here before you know it.

Those 7:30 a.m. commutes will get darker before they get lighter. Officially, Daylight Savings Time doesn’t end for a couple more days – officially at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 4.

Remember, you’ll “fall back” and set your clocks back one hour. Many electronic devices automatically adjust when Daylight Savings Time begins or ends.

When you change your clocks in the fall and spring, it’s also a good time to change smoke detector batteries and check to make sure device are in working order.

Arizona, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa do not observe Daylight Savings Time.

The next daylight savings begins on March 10, 2013.

While you will most likely be sleeping when that extra hour falls back, you'll still have plenty of time Sunday for extra activity.

You could finally get that fall cleaning done then donate your items to the Johnston Partnership.
