Daylight Savings will end at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 6th. Most analog clocks will need to be set back one hour, or “fall back,” before bedtime in order to show the correct time for Sunday morning.

The change is automatic for most smartphones, computers, tablets and other digital devices.

The end of Daylight Savings is also a good time to change the batteries and make sure your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are in working order.

According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, credit for Daylight Saving Time originally belongs to Benjamin Franklin, who first suggested the idea in 1784. The idea was revived in 1907, when an Englishman, William Willett, proposed a similar system in the pamphlet The Waste of Daylight.

The Germans were the first to officially adopt the time change system in 1915 in order to better save fuel during World War I. The British switched one year later, and the United States followed in 1918, when Congress passed the Standard Time Act, which established our time zones. This experiment lasted only until 1920, when the law was repealed due to opposition from dairy farmers.

During World War II, Daylight Saving Time was imposed once again to save fuel. Since then, Daylight Savings has been used on and off, with different start and end dates. Currently, Daylight Saving Time begins at 2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday of March and ends at 2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November.
