No matter how hard I try, I cannot make myself say 'Daylight Saving Time.' It always comes as 'Savings.' This is because my speech never advanced past the second grade. ('Fine! I didn't want to wake up on time ANYWAYS.')

Annoying, yes - but dangerous? Well, sort of. The real danger is that when your clocks spring forward, you'll decide to go without that extra hour of sleep and become accident prone.

Most of us don't really have a choice, of course. I mean, if you could sleep in, you would. In fact, you'd probably be sleeping instead of reading this newsletter right now. (Don't do that.) The good news is that you can make up some of the deficit with a power nap.
