You have been doing good throughout all these times and survived lunch without much trouble. But then it’s late afternoon, and you cannot make it through the day. So, what do you do? Of course, you would take a nap! National Napping Day encourages people to remember the benefits of napping and how you should take some time out of the day for yourself.
National Napping Day 2023 is celebrated on the 15th of March to remember the benefits of napping and celebrate youth and personal time. Sleep during daylight savings time is the best for sleep-deprived humans. Even 30 minutes of good sleep can reduce the chances of heart disease, boost alertness and improve health benefits.
History of the National Napping Day
- National Napping Day’s origin is nothing but the history of napping. Napping is something that all of us did in the afternoon. The ritual of napping is still a tradition in Spain, which happens right after people take their afternoon meals, which has been the practice for the longest time. Daylight savings and time change also contribute to sleep-deprived people’s brains.
- If you happen to be in the Mediterranean region, it is pretty much what happens wherever you go. In Italy, people call it riposo Pasolini, and also, the good old Charlamagne has been recorded to have taken about 2 to 3 hours of nap in the middle of the afternoons.
- So, will you call it laziness? Of course, no! It might seem so because napping time is during the hottest hours of the day in the middle of the afternoon. Napping day makes sense to take a small break from work now. You can use daylight saving time and do the best thing, i.e., to sleep.
- Napping is also related to the circadian rhythms and the change-over point between the sleep and wake cycles, which is the perfect time to take the naps. Based on the Boston University professor and his wife, Camille Anthony, people should nap well to increase brain alertness, which is best for overall body health.
- There are also so many benefits of taking a nap in the afternoon, including evidence proving that there is about a 37% reduction in coronary mortality occurrences amongst people who tend to nap regularly in the afternoon. Use some daylight saving time and give some breaks to your body.
