n is for napping in a nook
napping day is an unofficial holiday that falls on the monday after daylight savings time begins in the united states. the day was created as a way to compensate for the hour people lose because of the time change. this is one holiday that most people can get behind.
studies have shown that one or more short naps during the day can help increase productivity and alertness. it is believed that many successful people in history napped often such as: einstein, churchill, and napoleon.
how to celebrate?
- take a short nap.
- if your country does not observe DST, then follow the DST and napping day schedule of another country. why lose out on a holiday just because your country doesn’t have DST?
did you know…
…that a NASA study among pilots and astronauts found that short naps can increase performance by 34% and alertness by 54%?

I must say that I quickly adopted the siesta concept when we lived in Spain and even the dog got the idea except his day was a series of naps punctuated with food…xxx

I used to take power naps. Now since I’ve retired, the naps are longer and increasingly less powerful. sigh…

The studies keep telling us that but we don’t allow ourselves the time to stip for you those few minutes. I understand that sometimes it can be difficult to find the time but when it’s there we should take advantage of it.

During rest time at school, I am on the floor, rubbing backs with closed eyes. No sleeping, but the quiet rest works wonders. Here’s to the nap!
