Remember to turn your clocks ahead tonight.
This is a good time to check your smoke detector too.
Also just pushing the button to test you smoke alarm doesn't tell you if it will detect smoke or not, all pushing the button does is test the circuit. You need to find a product called Smoke Test made by a company named CRC industries. It is a spray product that you spray at your smoke detector to set it off. Of course you can use something smoking to test the smoke detector too.
I have 62 smoke detectors that I test twice a year this way. I have many times checked the circuit & it worked fine but the detector wouldn't go off when sprayed with the Smoke Test.
