Take Time Today to Celebrate National Napping Day
(First Monday after Daylight Savings Time begins)
Begun in 1999 by William Anthony (a
professor of rehabilitation counseling at Boston University Sargent
College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences) and his wife, Camille,
Bill is now known as “Napmaster General”.
Babies and Animals Nap Easily

| My infant grandson finds it easy to nap |
Napping is easiest for babies and cats
& dogs (who can nap anywhere at any given moment). It's also easy for us retired
people on a Monday.
Many cultures have a mid-day nap as part of
their daily routine and perhaps that should be integrated into
everyone's work day. Yeah, right! I can see the bosses now allowing a
slump in production each workday by allowing an afternoon nap! Fun
idea, though. I'm all for it.
Let others Know You're 'Napping'
So, if you have some time free after
lunch today (or instead of lunch), set aside a block of time to
celebrate National Napping Day ~ by napping!

Wish I would have thought up this holiday! I'm not a fan of either springing ahead or falling back when it comes to clocks, particularly body clocks, so I'm all for celebrating with a nap!
ReplyDeleteA nap definitely helps ease the transition, especially in the Spring when we LOSE an hour of time.
DeleteI'm late getting to all of my updates because of a nap.....oh it felt so good....
ReplyDeleteLOL, Olivia. Hope you enjoyed your 'snooze'. Happy napping anytime.
DeleteWell that explains why I wanted to sleep most of the day, but of course didn't. Darn, and I had a reason.
ReplyDeleteYou can make up for it today, Barbara. Sneak in a nice afternoon nap. :)
DeleteSuch great sadness! I missed this yesterday, therefore I missed knowing it would be a good day for a nap. I know I felt all out of wack all day yesterday. The time change gets me every time. As soon as my body adjusts to daylight savings time, zap! We change again :) I shall be napping today to make up for the loss of a nap yesterday. Wait! I should get 2 naps today! lol
ReplyDeleteMouse, my daughter says it's a rule that if you miss a nap one day, you have to take TWO naps the next day. Just as any baby.... or cat. :)
DeleteWho knew? Better put it on our calendars for next year so we don't miss it again.
ReplyDeleteGood idea, Carol. You wouldn't want to sleep through 'napping day'... lol.
DeleteI haven't been the same since Daylight Savings Time started. I seem to get headaches every day since then.Fortunately I didn't get one today. I can't seem to nap during the day, but I can sleep in and pretend the time never changed.
ReplyDeleteI've been sleeping in every day since Sunday, Barbara. The whole week after the time change seems to mix up my sleeping pattern. :)
DeleteI have national napping celebrations pretty much every few days. LOL>
ReplyDeleteThat's the way to do it, Paula. :)
DeleteOh shoot, I thought everyday was Napping Day! haha.
ReplyDeleteIt IS, Dawn Rae. You can take a nap anytime and any day you want to. LOL.
DeleteHad a great nap today and I didn't even know it was national napping day until I saw your psot.
ReplyDeleteGlad you indulged in National Napping Day even without knowing you were doing so, Susan. :) We can all use a nap at times.
DeleteWednesday Elf, about 15 years ago, I began taking a daily nap. I attribute my still being here, in great part to those naps. I think it gives us a lower blood pressure and a chance to refresh from the cares of the day. So glad to know there's a National Napping Day! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNancy, it sounds like you enjoy celebrating National Napping Day EVERY day! :) Glad your naps are beneficial to you. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteLove the idea of a napping day. Actually, I think we should have it once per week.
ReplyDeleteI could go for every 'day'. LOL. Thanks, Rhonda.
