LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – This Sunday, the clocks will fall back once more.

Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 2. It began on Sunday, March 9.

The change in the clocks will offer more daylight as the days grow shorter.

With that change, it’s a good time to check the batteries in smoke alarms and other home safety features. 

Because of the time change’s impacts on circadian rhythms and health, people are urged to pay special attention to the need to adjust for changed sleep patterns as the days continue to shorten.

It’s also important to be mindful while on the roads in the fall. Wildlife experts say that in the fall,  animals tend to be most active at dawn and dusk, making it necessary to be particularly watchful when driving to and from work, school or other activities.
