Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends on Sunday, Nov. 7, at 2 a.m. That’s all one really needs to know about Daylight Saving Time, but we decided it would be fun to include some interesting trivia and helpful tips to help you transition into standard time this weekend.

1. Benjamin Franklin did not actually propose DST. While in Paris in 1784, he suggested that Parisians align their waking hours with daylight hours to conserve candles. Modern DST was formally proposed by British-born entomologist George Hudson in 1895. If you didn’t know, now you know!
2. It’s actually “Daylight Saving Time,” not “Daylight Savings Time.” Where did we get the “s”?
3. Arizona and Hawaii are the only states in America that do not observe DST. But who needs to keep time when you’re living in a warm and sunny climate?
4. You get an extra hour of sleep on Sunday — woo-hoo! To help the time change be less jarring on your sleep patterns, experts recommend going to bed 20 minutes earlier in the days leading up to the end of Daylight Saving Time.
5. Stay safe — on the roads and at home.

The decreased visibility that comes from the time change makes roads more hazardous. Being aware of the increased risk of accidents in the period immediately following the time change could help you stay more alert, so be sure to watch for pedestrians on bikes, keep your windshield clean and clear, and pay attention when approaching walkways.

Finally, batteries in smoke and carbon dioxide detectors should be changed every six months — and the beginning and the ending of Daylight Saving is a great time to take care of that. After all, you will be wandering around your home changing all of the clocks anyway.
