National Public Sleeping Day

National Public Sleeping Day is an annual American holiday dedicated to sleeping in public places. If you’re really tired, why not take a 20-minute nap while you’re riding the bus or sitting on a bench in the park? Apparently, such thoughts also visited the creator of this funny holiday, on February 28.

History

According to studies by scientists, about 75% of Americans are chronically sleep-deprived because they sleep less than six hours almost every day. Personal worries and work schedules can disrupt your normal life. A regimen with an increased load over a long period of time will not be appreciated by the body. First of all, the nervous system will suffer, then medium-vascular diseases may develop, and the immune system will weaken. Seasonal colds will become a frequent companion.

Celebrating National Public Sleeping Day is a great way to reclaim the time lost to work and spend it on sleep. Despite the positive nature of the holiday, you should be cautious, as pickpockets may take advantage of the situation and there may be immoral individuals who could steal your belongings while you are sleeping on a bench.

Interesting facts

• Memorable dreams usually occur exclusively during the phase of long sleep.
• Experts have proven that sleeping for an hour during the day will restore the strength and energy that was lost.
• When dividing your sleep into periods throughout the day, you need to consider your chronotype. Are you a lark or an owl? Because of this, you may be most active in the morning hours or in the evening, which should be considered when creating your schedule.

How to celebrate

Wish a Happy National Public Sleeping Day to your friends and acquaintances who have a habit of falling asleep in public places. Recall when you have fallen asleep in class, on public transportation, and so on. Optimize your schedule to get as much sleep as possible and feel energized throughout the day.
