Civil time is occasionally adjusted by one second increments to ensure that the difference between a uniform time scale defined by atomic clocks does not differ from the Earth's rotational time by more than 0.9 seconds. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), an atomic time, is the basis for civil time.

There WILL be a another positive leap second introduced in UTC on 30 June 2012.

Wait, so does this mean we gain or lose one more second of sleep?
