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.

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 nap about three days a week. I’d nap more, but sometimes I sleep late instead. :D

    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.
