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’m up shortly after 5 a.m. and usually don’t go to bed until around midnight – so I typically take a nap 3-4 times during the course of the week. And I would sleep even better knowing Protect-A-Bed has my back! ;)

    I only get about 2 per week. I have a full time job but I definitely nap on Sat and Sun when jr. does too. Hubby gets a few more since he’s part time… I think that may be what I envy most about working part time. The ability to nap more often :)

    I rarely get to take a nap. I would say maybe twice a month if I am lucky.

    I nap maybe once a week. As my surrogate pregnancy progresses though, I am napping a bit more, especially on weekends!

    THANK YOU!
