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%?

while signing-in at the salon

i asked the receptionist

what the date was

to which she replied, 

“oh, let me look. it changes every day. this keeps happening.”

(not ironically)

i nodded in agreement and finished signing in.

that moment when you realize that

you have been calling your neighbor ‘phil’ for three years

only to find out that his name is really ‘al.’

if you open your eyes in a pitch-black room

the color you’ll see is called

‘eigengrau.’

grandie creates his quilt

stitching fabrics of his choosing

that he’s learned to sew upon

this machine that he is using.

 his ukulele sits nearby

waiting for some play

as the sled stands outside

with hopes of snowy day.
