Sleep on ıt
WITH THE HUSTLE and bustle of the holiday season behind you, take the opportunity to observe Festival of Sleep Day on January 3. 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 65 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 28, which is National Public Sleeping Day.—Bill Urlevich
