Happy Nappy Day!

The lovely ladies at Alzheimer’s Notes inform us that today is National Siesta Day. Coincidentally, it’s also my birthday. Excuse me while I take that as a sign that I should be spending my Big Day snoozing. ;)
Actually, that’s not such a bad idea. Along with the host of reasons the Siesta Awareness site gives us to nap, here’s another: Napping at least 3 days a week leaves you 37% less likely to keel over from heart disease than someone who never naps. This from a study of over 23,000 people!
Wouldn’t you have loved to been a subject in that study? And wouldn’t it be nice if instead of blood pressure meds and low cholesterol diets, doctors prescribed 30 minute naps instead?
Now there’s a birthday wish I’d love to come true.
Nap on, people. Nap on!
