WITH THE HUSTLE and bustle of
the holiday season behind you, take
the opportunity to observe Festival of
Sleep Day on January ;.
No one seems to know the official
origin of this holiday, but one can
assume it encourages people to catch
up on sleep after all the holiday parties, New Year celebrations, shopping,
presents and visiting relatives.
Celebrating this unofficial holiday
is as easy as it sounds. Whether it’s all
day, a power nap or a quick snooze, just
cozy up on a bed, couch or your softest
chair and snore away. It’s OK to bring
your favorite stuffed animal or blanket. Dress appropriately in your nicest
sleep attire. The more comfortable you
are, the better you will sleep. How long
you choose to celebrate is entirely up
to you.
It should come as no surprise, but
sleep is one of the most important
human activities. Getting a full night’s
sleep allows the body to rest and heal,
and is even linked to maintaining
a healthy weight and healthy brain
function. Lack of sleep or even poor
sleep can negatively affect your health
—both mind and body. (See the article
on page ;; for more sleep information
and tips.)
When you awake, see if that extra
sleep made a real difference. Are you
feeling more refreshed? Rested? If
not, you can always look forward to
February ;;, which is National Public
Sleeping Day.—Bill Urlevich
