Tonights time change could be the last in Florida


Sunday morning is going to arrive a little earlier than usual this weekend. That's because tonight we will all be turning our clocks forward one hour and losing a bit of sleep.

Daylight-saving time begins at 2 a.m. this Sunday, March 10. At that time you can officially move your clocks forward one hour - or you can just do it the night before.

Time changes are also a great time to remember and change the batteries in your smoke alarms.

Will this be our last time change?

Florida Sen. Darren Soto (Dem) is looking to extend daylight savings time and has introduced the "Sunshine Protection Act" bill last month. The bill, if passed would mandate that Florida keep its clock in daylight saving time year-round.

Florida would become the first state to use daylight savings time year round. Arizona and Hawaii are the only two states that don't recognize daylight savings time though others, such as New Mexico have considered doing away with it in recent years.
