Ready or not, here it comes. The end of daylight saving time (DST) is fast approaching, perhaps for the final time if legislators vote to permanently end switching clocks an hour backward in the coming months. The seasonal time change will occur on Sunday, Nov. 3 at 2 a.m. and along with it, an extra hour of sleep and  earlier sunrises and sunsets. This is also a good time to change your batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. DST returns on March 9, 2025.
