This page is not a snapshot. The figures are recalculated every time it loads, using the -04:00 time zone, so tomorrow the count will be one day smaller. If you bookmark the page you will always see the current gap rather than the number that was true on the day you saved it, and nobody has to edit anything for that to stay correct.

Sleeps is the unit children use, and it is oddly practical: it counts the nights between today and the day itself. The number equals the day count, but saying it in sleeps turns a long wait into something a child can picture.
