Daylight Saving Time will end and revert to standard time at 2 a.m. and turn back to 1 a.m. on Sunday November 2, 2014. Most clocks, such as those on cell phones and computers will update automatically overnight, moving forward from 2am to 1am. But other household clocks such as those on alarm clocks, microwaves, stoves and car radios have to be manually updated.

Not every state moves their clocks ahead to observe Daylight Saving Time. The federal government does not require its states or territories to observe DST, states such as Arizona and Hawaii, as well as places like Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa, do not adjust their clocks.

You can also use Daylight Saving Time beginning and ending as the time to change the batteries in your smoke alarms around your home to ensure they work in the event of an emergency.
