It’s that time of year again — time to change batteries in smoke detectors and set clocks back an hour for the end of Daylight Savings Time on Sunday.

For some, it is a blessing from the Sandman himself, granting individuals an extra hour of beauty sleep. For the night owls, it means more time for themselves.

The Era asked on Facebook what locals would be doing with the extra hour and received a variety of answers.

“(This year) it will be used to enjoy an extra hour of sleep in Orlando,” commented Tammy Potter, who is an airline flight attendant. Potter explained that she is usually on a flight or landing from a flight around the end of Daylight Savings Time. She also said that depending on where she is flying from, it could affect her sleep schedule because of the added effect of jet lag when she flies “back-to-back west coast trips.”

Esther Rinfrette humorously commented that she has been saving all of her extra DST hours. “I’ve been saving them all for summer,” she commented.

Barb Conkin, of Falconer, N.Y., commented that she would be taking advantage of the extra hour for her daily walk.

Dave Vanerstrom mentioned a list of things he could do with his time which included time with his grandkids and garden prepping for next spring. But he added he might spend the hour doing one simple thing.

“Maybe I’ll use the hour for an extra long hug for my wife,” Vanerstrom said.

For some Bradfordians that no longer live in Bradford, they will not be noticing a difference.

Marilyn Hart, formerly of Bradford, now lives in Arizona — one of the two states that do not observe Daylight Savings Time, the second being Hawaii. For Hart, it simply means the gap in the time zone between Pennsylvania and Arizona will close a bit.

“I will be able to talk more with my sister who lives in Bradford,” Hart commented. “The time difference will be only 2 hours instead of 3.”

However one chooses to spend it, remember one important thing — be on time for work on Monday morning.
