Take A Siesta, Rockford! It’s National Napping Day
With today being
National Napping Day, I suggest you non-nappers give it a shot and see what the rest of us, famous or not, have enjoyed for quite awhile. This
unofficial holiday is generally observed the Monday after Daylight Saving Time begins to allow sleepers to adjust to their new schedule.
According to SleepAdvisor.org, National Napping Day was
invented by William Anthony, Ph.D., a professor at Boston University, and his wife Camille Anthony in 1999. The couple wanted to help educate people about the power of a good snooze and how getting just a little extra rest could be important to their health.

Some statistics indicate that, on average, one-third of Americans take time out for a daily nap.
But on Monday, March 15 even more Americans may take advantage of an opportunity to get some extra Z s in honor of National Napping Day.
Some say this unofficial holiday was invented to spread more awareness of the positive health benefits of taking a nap.
Sleep is an essential function that is often taken for granted. It allows the body and mind to recharge, and even helps the brain to process memories, concentrate, in addition to keeping the body healthy enough to stave off diseases.
