Twice a year we adjust our crazy lives and schedules one hour to adjust for daylight. At least those of us in most of the 50 U.S. states and a few other places in the world anyway.
Take the time during this Fall time change to also do a few other things that can benefit you and your family members.
1. Change batteries in your smoke alarms and/or flashlights
2. Change your pillow - the Better Sleep Council recommends new pillows every year or so to maximize your sleeping comfort.
3. Change your water filter on your refrigerator
4. Change the filters in your home heating/cooling return
5. Drain and refill your hot water heaters - getting rid of unwanted sediment makes for a cleaner, longer-lasting water heater.
Take advantage of these tips and make sure you and your home are properly prepared this winter.
