When is National Public Sleeping Day?
Tuesday February 28thIf you're tired on February 28th, it could be because National Public Sleeping Day encourages a mid-day nap right where you are. Anyone and everyone should take a nap on a blanket at the beach, in the park, on a bus, train, or other public place that may be helpful to you. However, taking the nap at your desk during work may not be a smart idea.
Types of naps
There are several forms of naps. The Power Nap is about ten to 20 minutes long and will give us a boost of energy to get us through the rest of the day. It also doesn't leave us drowsy like some longer naps would, and it will also encourage us to sleep at a decent time at night.
The Hangover is about 30 minutes long, ten too many, leaving us loopy and wanting to sleep. We'll snap out of it and feel much like we had a Power Nap, but it will take a little effort before we feel the benefits.
The Brainiac lasts about 60 minutes and includes the deepest sleep. Although we may wake up a little grogginess upon awakening, much like the Hangover, our ability to recall facts, names, and faces will be enhanced. After a round of studying or before a big exam, this type of nap may be the best nap.
