It's that time of year when we ‘Spring Forward' for Daylight Savings Time. While many of us are happy to have an extra hour of daylight at the end of the day, we do lose an hour of sleep in the process. Too bad more employers don't recognize the Monday after Daylight Savings as National Napping Day. National Napping Day was founded by Boston University professor William Anthony and his wife Camille in 1999. Napping Day is an unofficial holiday set aside to help people adjust to Daylight Saving Time and to promote health and productivity benefits of napping. After losing an hour of sleep by ‘springing forward,' people are more sleep-deprived and find it easier to nap. I for one plan to celebrate this holiday, just don't expect a Hallmark greeting card from me.
