Monday, Mar. 13, 2017 is National Napping Day, which means that it's a day to get your sleep on (which should be welcome, considering Daylight Saving Time just went into effect on Mar. 12).

Is there anything better than taking a nice, uninterrupted nap after a long day out and about? I don't think so. Whether it's freezing outside (and you have the space heater blowing while you're bundled up in blankets) or it's a beautifully warm day (and you have the windows open with the fresh breeze floating in), a nap is pretty much the perfect way to spend any afternoon.
According to a Gallup report, two out of five Americans don't get the recommended seven or more hours of sleep a night. That means a whopping 40 percent of Americans could probably do with a nap at some point throughout their day. The power of sleep should never be underestimated.
