Are you fond of sleeping for an hour or two during the daytime? Then, this unofficial holiday is for you.
Monday marks National Napping Day, which is celebrated on the day following the return of daylight saving time in order to give people the opportunity to catch up on the hour of sleep they lost out on when clocks shifted to the spring time.The unofficial holiday can be dated back to 1999 when a Boston University professor, William Anthony, created the event, primarily to emphasize on the benefits of a quick nap. He reportedly said at the time, “We chose this particular Monday because Americans are more ‘nap-ready’ than usual after losing an hour of sleep to daylight saving time.”
It has been eagerly celebrated by sleep-deprived Americans ever since.
