Dark mornings make you wonder when will it be time to set clocks back—and replace smoke-alarm batteries?
Your 7:30 a.m. commute is about to get lighter. Officially, Daylight Savings Time ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012. Remember, you’ll “fall back” that night and set your clocks back one hour.

Move clocks one hour ahead; change smoke alarm batteries too.
It's time to spring forward into Daylight Savings Time. Alas, the change of the clock means a few groggy mornings for many, rather than anything springy to speak of.

Take our love/hate poll on daylight saving time below. Why all the hassle?
