The
mass media covers N.W.N.D.
The media has done their part. The very first year announcements were made all over
the country (Canada & Australia too) that April 3, 2000
was the first of many National Napping Days. Camille
& Bill Anthony of The Napping Company seemed to be everywhere.
On that weekend they appeared on The News with Brian Williams,
CNN Newsstand, Fox & Friends and chatted on numerous
radio shows, such as QR -- Calgary, CANADA; KSO -- Salt
Lake City; WXYT -- Detroit; NPR Morning Edition;
KISW -- Seattle; KEX - Portland, OR; WMAQ -- Chicago;
WMAL -- Washington, DC; KLIF -- Dallas; KWMI, Fargo,
ND; WRMS -- Palm Beach, FL. Each Napping Day the Anthony's make media appearances to spread the word about the health and productivity benefits of napping |

It's never too late to plan for National Napping Day 2008!
This year National Napping Day will fall on March 10, 2008. Because of the loss of one hour's sleep the night before due to the return of daylight savings time, everyone in the country will be more sleep deprived than usualand therefore more nap ready. National Napping Day is designed to make more people aware of the health and productivity benefits of napping. It is the perfect day for nappers to lie down and be counted.
Email or call the Napping Company info@napping.com and let us know how you plan to celebrate the day. If you wish, we can publicize your information. |
Other Celebrations from Past
National Napping Days:
Yarde Metals of Bristol, CT celebrated with a company wide-nap
break at lunch, featuring a free lunch and a guest violinist and guitar
player playing soothing napping music. Sleep masks were provided and
employees were encouraged to bring lawn chairs, mats and other napping
platforms to work. Companies that went public with their endorsement
of National Napping Day included Union Pacific (railroad),
OP Contract (office furniture), Carpe Diem (creator
of children's games) and Gould Evans Goodman (architectural
firm) and Circadian Technologies (24-hour operation consultants)
IN 2005 The Anthonys celebrated in New York City on Fifth Avenue at the world's first Nap Hotel, sponsored by Four Points by Sheraton. In a mini-hotel set up just for napping day, Camille & Bill Anthony touted the virtues of napping and got a sneak peak at the new Four Points by Sheraton Four Comfort Bed (TM). After four naps in this bed during a two day period Bill pronounced it as “an excellent place for napping and sleeping”. It received the Napping Company Sleep Seal of Approval IN 2006 the Anthony's took the Sheraton Four Comfort (TM). Bed to the Fox &
Friends television show. The three hosts of Fox & Friends interviewed Bill
Anthony while they all relaxed on the king size Four Comfort bed. Bill
felt that it was one of the most comfortable interviews he ever had! |
