National Napping Day

About National Napping Day

With the clocks going forward, you lost an hour of sleep. National Napping Day encourages people, both old and young, to set aside time during the day to catch up on some of that missed sleep.

Also called National Siesta Day, the day was the brainchild of former Boston University professor William Anthony, who wanted all of us to realize the health benefits of catching some quality snooze time.
