National Napping Day

Shh It's Nap Time

My favorite day of the year is finally here: National Napping Day! Always the first Monday after daylight savings time, national napping day, is a day to catch up on that hour of sleep we all missed the day before.

Now, for those of you who do not consider themselves "professional" nappers, such as myself, let me give you a few insights on how to enjoy this day. First, you have the power nap, which usually takes place between 20-30 minutes. It is simply a short nap that helps rejuvenate your mind and body. These can be taken on a short train ride or in the car (if you aren't driving of course!).

For those of you who need a little more time to boost your energy, the cat nap, might be more of your style. This is a leisurely nap that can last anywhere from 90 to 120 minutes, which is definitely my idea of a true nap. So go grab your pillow and sleep mask, turn off all the lights and have some sweet dreams. You deserve it, I mean, you were deprived of one full hour yesterday!
