Daylight savings time ends at 2 a.m. this Sunday. Set your clocks back 1 hour, and change the batteries in your smoke detectors.
The Philly.com says- "The concept of Daylight Saving Time stretches back centuries, and may have first been suggested by Benjamin Franklin in 1784. The thought was that Americans would appreciate an extra hour of sunlight and energy (candles and oil back then) could be conserved."
