HAPPY NATIONAL NAPPING DAY!!! National Napping Day is observed annually the day following the return of daylight saving time. National Napping Day provides everyone with the opportunity to have a nap and catch up on the hour of sleep they lost due to the spring forward time change.

It’s the made-up holiday of my dreams; March 9th is National Napping Day, and has been since 1999, thanks to Dr. William Anthony, the former executive director of Boston University's Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation and the author of The Art of Napping at Work. William and his wife Camille (president of The Napping Company) chose the date for being the first Monday after daylight savings time, a date that we could all use a good nap.

This drowsy moment was captured around the year 1904 in rear parlor of Auburn Heights, the family home of Yorklyn, Delaware’s Marshall family. The family’s patriarch, Israel W. Marshall (1850-1911), founded the Marshall Brothers Paper Mill in Yorklyn in 1890. The wealth generated by this family business allowed his son, Thomas Clarence Marshall (1885-1969), to become a man of many hobbies, including photography. In addition to other subjects, the Hagley’s collection of his photographs contains images like this one, documenting the Marshall family and their friends. Other subjects include more photographs of Auburn Heights, the Marshall Brothers Paper Mill, Marshall’s collection of Stanley Steamer automobiles, and various locations and events in and around Delaware and Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Did you know that bats are some of the sleepiest creatures on the planet?! Bats famously sleep hanging upside down, which allows them to to huddle closely together for protection against cold and predators, and it enables individuals to expend less energy when taking flight. Happy #NappingDay!
