CONGRATULATIONS!! The winner is Sandy.
Do you know what today is? National Napping day. I’m thinking of calling off work just to snuggle and nap. Think my boss would mind? Unfortunately I think she would. It’s a perfect day to celebrate since many of us are tired from the change in the clocks yesterday.
For centuries nappers have awoken to fantastic ideas that changed the world. These nappers have included Lord Byron, Leonardo Da Vinci and Thomas Edison, with their ideas changing the world in the arts, literature and sciences. Studies show that napping can rejuevenate the mind, bolster health and creativity.
Protect-A-Bed knows about the wonders napping can do but also know that without proper protection napping can cause health issues. If your bed is not properly protected, it can harbor dust mites and allergens. Something we worry about in our house with our allergies. We have a Protect-A-Bed mattress cover that we purchased with our bed. It’s easy to use as it goes on just like any other mattress cover and can be washed and dried with the normal laundry. I would warn that it needs to be dried on the lowest setting.
To celebrate national Napping day, Protect-A-Bed is holding a twitter contest all day. They will be giving away pillow case protector sets to those people that share their funniest places to nap stories. Go follow @protect_a_bed and send them your story. I think our funniest story would have to be Thanksgiving dinner when I was still rather young. My grandfather had worked the night before at the Library of Congress. They then drove to have dinner with us. Time for dinner and we couldn’t find Granddad anywhere. Finally we found him in the garage asleep on the pool table. Definitely not soft and comfy but that was the only quiet place he could find.
BUY IT: You can purchase Protect-A-Bed products online and in select stores nationwide.
WIN IT: Protect-A-Bed is offering one reader their own queen size Protect-A-Bed mattress cover.

I remember falling asleep under my parents bed when I was about 7 or 8. I was hiding from my brother and ended up going to sleep. I catch the occasional nap on the couch now.

I actually ended up taking a nap on my little girls toddler bed once- I was tired, it didn’t matter that I was crammed into such a small bed.
I literally fell asleep in the chair at the Dr’s office while waiting to be called in. It was embarrassing!! Thanks for the chance.

Having a baby at home, I nap whenever i can. One time I got the baby to sleep while I was driving around. So I pulled over and took a nap in my car in the Albertson’s parking lot.
When I was a little girl I was staying with my aunt and uncle for the weekend. My cousin and I were playing in the sleeper of my uncle’s semi and fell asleep. My uncle found us when he came out to take the truck in to get washed.
Back in the “olden” days I used to fall asleep in the back window of the family car on road trips.

On my weight lifting bench…luckily I wasn’t lifting weights at the time.
The parking lot of an Arby’s somewhere in the middle of Kentucky.
When I used to work, I would fall asleep anytime we had to go to a meeting and watch boring slides or videos.
