Who would
have thought today of all days was National Napping Day? Many people do not
even know that this day actually exists, but it does. Now some of you may say “this
is just a silly reason just to sleep.” However, there is a good reason that
they made the national napping day for people here is why.
It just so happens that in 1999 the thought of national
napping day came to be a reality. The reason for it is because we have daylight
savings time the night before. So, in order for people to catch up on their
sleep for the one night, they came up with National Napping Day. Which if you
think about it people now a days need more sleep than they are actually
getting. Now if we could have this once a week for those that work 2 or 3 jobs
or 16 to 18 hours a day now that would be the bomb for those that work the
longer hours.
For an adult it is a proven fact that in order to function
at your best it is recommended that they sleep between 7 to 9 hours. If you are
like many people 7 to 9 hours of sleep is just not possible. But that is where
are good nap if possible comes in. A nap will rejuvenate your body and mind so
that you can think clearer than if you were to not get a nap.
However; It has also been proven that children from the ages
of 6 to 13 need anywhere from 9 to 11 hours of sleep to function properly in
their everyday activities. So the next time you or your loved ones have not
slept like you should have you should really consider taking a nap to get your
body and mind rested.
