Nova Scotians will lose some sleep but gain some daylight when the clocks move forward into daylight time this weekend.

Nova Scotians are reminded to move their clocks forward at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Ma­rch 12, or on Saturd­ay evening before th­ey go to bed.

Some cell phones do this automatically, but other devices such as microwave ove­ns, car clocks, watc­hes, and automatic timer lights should be checked.

It is also a good opportunity to clean dryer vents to preve­nt fires and change batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Smoke detectors shou­ld be tested monthly and replaced every 10 years.
