CLOSED: National Napping Day (And Just in Time, Too!)

TAGS: None

The night before Daylight Saving begins, my husband acts a bit like the town cryer. “You know it’s really 10 o’clock, right?” he’ll say at 9pm. He then repeats the time-related math the next hour…and the next. It’s kind of annoying, because for a night owl like myself, the reminder hits me right in the gut. I’m simply not ready to go to bed “early” because of the hour we lose in this widely-acknowledged raw deal. You add two awesome late 80′s/early 90′s movies to the mix (Cutting Edge *and* Lost Boys both started at 11…er, I mean 12…o’clock last night!), and I’m just not gonna get a lot of sleep.

Our son Eli. I know how he feels.

Fortunately, today – Monday, March 15 – is National Napping Day! Seriously! And before you claw that into your calendar and hide away for your long siesta, I have some fun news.

In celebration of National Napping Day, Protect-A-Bed, known as the “worldwide leader in mattress protection innovation,” is sponsoring a Twitter contest AND a giveaway here on my blog.

To participate in the Twitter contest, first, follow @Protect_A_Bed on Twitter, then tweet out the funniest place you’ve ever taken a nap. Make sure to include the hashtag #nappingday with your tweet! Protect-A-Bed will be giving away sets of their Premium Pillow Protectors to winners. Like all Protect-A-Bed products, the Premium Pillow Protectors offer a stainproof barrier, protection from dust mites and allergens, and are made to be cool and comfortable.

I think this qualifies as the strangest place *I've* taken a nap! :)

I think this qualifies as the strangest place I have ever taken a nap.

For the giveaway here at Tree, Root, and Twig, Protect-A-Bed is offering one Queen Size Protect-A-Bed Premium Mattress Cover (retail value $79.99).

This waterproof, washable protector has a 10yr warranty and the Good Housekeeping seal of approval. To enter, answer in a question to this post: how many times a week do you take a nap? US entries only, please.

Thank you.

ZERO! but I wish my 2 yr. old napped. He turned 2. I stopped breastfeeding. He stopped napping the same day. “I’ll get you mom” was the silent thought in his head.

I usually do not take a nap which allows me to sleep better at night but once in a while (maybe 2X a week) I just have to settle in for a little nap. I love it when that happens.

I long to take a nap every afternoon when my toddler does but in reality I only get to do that about twice a week. Too many things can be done when the “busy little person” is recharging his batteries.

I take a nap every day of the week, if possible. It’s one of the most productive things you can do! In that way, everything you do after the nap is productive instead of half-hearted because you’re too tired. You enjoy things more when you’re not tired, too.

So zero naps per week!
