This unofficial holiday encourages people to take a break and enjoy a short nap to help combat the effects of losing an hour of sleep. The day highlights the benefits of napping, such as improved mood, increased alertness, and enhanced cognitive function. Many people use this day to promote the importance of rest and self-care in their daily lives, reminding everyone that a little downtime can lead to greater productivity and well-being.
