Establish National Nap Day as a Statewide Observance

 

To designate the third Friday in March annually as National Napping Day in the State of Minnesota, promoting public

health, wellness, and awareness of sleep hygiene through voluntary observance.

 

Scientific studies show that short naps (10–30 minutes) improve memory, mood, and reduce stress. Sleep deprivation is a

growing public health concern. Recognizing National Napping Day encourages healthy rest habits and helps Minnesotans

adjust to Daylight Saving Time.

 

Napping: a brief period of sleep not exceeding 30 min during daytime hours.

Observance: Voluntary participation by individuals, schools, and workplaces in activities promoting rest and sleep

education.

 

This act does not require funding, as this act primarily promotes rest and sleep education

 

No educational institution or office will be penalized. This is all completely voluntary

 

This act shall take effect immediately upon passage by the youth governor
