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

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.

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

    I nap… Zero days a week. Can’t squeeze in a nap any longer, too much going on now-a-days.

    I just napped today! I only nap when I am having severe sinus attacks….then I have no choice…I either medicate and nap or suffer the entire day.

    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 don’t nap – My days are too busy and I think if I fell asleep, it would be a pretty long nap!

    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.
