NATIONAL NAPPING DAY 
Each
year, National Napping Day recognizes our need the day following the
return of daylight saving time. Not only does the observance encourage a
nap, it reminds us that there's no shame in taking one either. While
preparing for the time change can offset the shock to our internal
clock, many other things in our life may not handle the change so well
causing us to still lose sleep. Young children and pets do not adjust as
easily and certain work schedules do not permit early adjustment,
either.
National Napping Day
Mid-afternoon naps are an integral part of most cultures, and scientifically proven to be good for you.
A needed rest can make you feel better and also improve your mood. After having the extra amount of sleep, a person will notice that they will be more productive and energetic. Numerous studies have shown that short 10-20 minute naps are the most effective when midday fatigue hits. Improvements in alertness, productivity, and mood have all been shown to improve with this type of snooze.
Though there are some of us who are just not the napping kind, if you can reap those benefits, find a cozy spot for 10 minutes or so on National Napping Day.
