Early this morning, Switzerland and other European countries "sprang forward" to "summer time", "Sommerzeit", "l'heure d'été", "l'ora legale", or "el horario de verano" – "daylight saving time," as it is called in the United States. I only began to notice the irritation caused by changing the clocks twice a year when I had small children, who sometimes took up to a week to get used to the change, whether it was forward or backward. Miles is now 22, and he says he doesn't really notice it anymore, except as something to take into account, but Luisa, who is 17, says it will make it harder for her to get up tomorrow morning.
