We make the leap into daylight savings time with a reminder to set your clock ahead one hour before going to bed. Dr. Rachel Morehouse is a Sleep Specialist with the Horizon Health Network and tells CHSJ News, sleep is something many people take for granted.


Dr. Morehouse adds the loss of an hours sleep does provide some problems in many area's including behind the wheel where this Monday, on average, there are more accidents on the roads because of sleep deprived drivers due to the time change.

Clean and Change Batteries in Your Smoke Detectors

Smoke alarms in your home should also be given a fresh battery as the first time change of the year unfolds. Andrew Sanojca is with the Musquash Fire Department and tells CHSJ News, many homes now have fire extinguishers and it never hurts to check the levels.


Sanojca adds a smoke detector is your families first line of defence so along with the fresh battery, make sure you clean away any dust from the unit as well.
