Some people celebrate National Napping Day.
Others… accidentally train for it all year.
After the time change this weekend, today’s the perfect excuse to lean back, close your eyes, and recharge those batteries. Think of it as a strategic power nap… not falling asleep in the recliner during the commercials.
Benefits of a good nap:
Boosts energy
Improves mood
Helps you survive Monday
And if anyone asks what you’re doing?
Just tell them DMAC said it’s officially sanctioned.
Now if you’ll excuse me… I’m conducting important sleep research.
Zzz… 😴
