National Napping Day 2023

Million to one shot, doc...

It’s finally here! National Napping Day 2023. We’ve been waiting for this day for a while — our whole lives, in a way. We’ve been talking about how best to approach it, this most cherished of days, and we’ve decided to keep it short and sweet.

Camille Anthony, left, gave this license plate to her husband, the late professor William Anthony, champion of the benefits of napping, and with his wife, the co-creator of National Napping Day in 1999. Said Anthony, “It’s part of the definition of who I am.” And a good day to you, sir! Wish I knew what the rest of their shirts said… Image courtesy of Boston University, no rights asserted.

From our family to yours, we wanted to wish everybody a Happy Napping Day! We appreciate all of your time, attention, and support, and wish everybody a solid nap to shake off your case of the Daylight Savings Time Mondays.

Naturally, we celebrated with napping: Hen knocked out 40 or so (10+30), Matt bagged 60 (30x2), and Evan squeezed in a 20 — a trifecta, the only way to do it on NND! Hen worked in some time on the acupuncture mat, Matt had a long workout (and short foot bath) before going under, and Evan rocked a classic couch nap — all of us lost consh, a Happy NND indeed!

Trifecta!
