FIVE NAPS TO BOOST PRODUCTIVITY AFTER DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME BEGINS
National Napping Day Helps Americans Adjust to Time Change

(Boston) – On Monday, April 3, 2006 Americans will be more sleep-deprived than any other day of the year. While some might be temped to rush to the coffee shop for an extra jolt of java on the first day of daylight savings, there is a healthier and more cost-efficient solution to wake up: celebrate National Napping Day by taking a nap.

National Napping Day, established in 1999, helps Americans adjust to the time change while raising awareness of the benefits of napping. Bosses need not worry; napping is a no-cost way to improve worker productivity and has actually been proven to enhance mood and performance.

William Anthony, professor of rehabilitation counseling at Boston University (BU) Sargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences and his wife, Camille Anthony, founded National Napping Day to promote the health benefits of napping.

According to Anthony, there are several different types of naps, each with a specific purpose, which can be performed at the workplace or at home to boost productivity and improve a person’s health. He suggests taking the following naps during one’s lunch break, or other approved work break, or anytime at home:

• Preventative Nap: Prevents sleep deprivation, headaches and other ill health that can trigger losses in productivity.

• Preparatory Nap: Prepares people for long hours of responsibilities and allows for productiveness over an extended period of time.

• Pleasurable Nap: Take a nap just because it feels good!

• Problem Solving Nap: Helps people get their minds around tough problems.

• Procrastination Nap: Take a nap before addressing an issue in hopes that the issue may take care of itself.
