         Guess what? You'll get an extra second of sleep tonight! Woot!
                                        
Gaining and losing an hour is a yearly thing.

Gaining a day happens once every four years.

But gaining a second?

It actually happens about every 18 months [1] (but not on any type of set
schedule). Wall Street is freaking out [2] about it. What about you? Will you
be watching Bobby Cannavale screaming “Leap Second!” [3]? Or will you just
spend an extra second sleeping tonight?
