You'll get an extra hour on Sunday to spend with family and friends, to read or to study the ballot propositions because daylight-saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sun., Nov. 2.

Saturday night before you go to bed is also a good time to change the time on all household clocks and electronic devices, and to change the batteries on smoke alarms. Clocks are moved back in autumn.

Daylight-saving time will return at 2 a.m. Sun., March 8, 2009, when clocks will "spring forward."
