National Napping Day
William Anthony, Ph.D., a Boston University Professor and his wife, Camille Anthony, created National Napping Day in 1999 as an effort to spotlight the health benefits to catching up on quality sleep.

Each year, National Napping Day recognses our need the day following the return of daylight saving time. Not only does the observance encourage a nap, it reminds us that there's no shame in taking one either.
While preparing for the time change can offset the shock to our internal clock, many other things in our life may not handle the change so well causing us to still lose sleep.
Young children and pets do not adjust as easily and certain work schedules do not permit early adjustment, either. A needed rest can make you feel better and also improve your mood.
After having the extra amount of sleep, a person will notice that they will be more productive and energetic.
Numerous studies have shown that short 10-20 minute naps are the most effective when midday fatigue hits.
Improvements in alertness, productivity and mood have all been shown to improve with this type of snooze.
