January 3 is the Festival of Sleep Day

One of my friends told me today that every Jan 3rd is the Festival of Sleep Day.

What?? Say again??
If we have to celebrate today by napping, why do we go to work?

Well, according to my friend, the Festival of Sleep Day is created for us to relax after the hectic Holiday season.

Why not observe it on Jan 2nd but on Jan 3rd, then?

I guess it's because Jan 2 is National Buffet Day, so, no one wants to lie down after he / she ate a lot.

For people like me who don't observe the National Buffet Day, should we move the Festival of Sleep Day to Jan 2? What's the history behind The Festival of Sleep Day, anyways?

My friend doesn't know much about this day. Even the good old Goggle search didn't give me the exact origin of this day. Does anyone know when and how it was started?

Well, I know lack of sleep will slow down our brains' reaction time. Students won't be able to study well and workers can't be productive. If we don't have enough sleep for a long period of time, we will gain weight!! Yes, sleep longer every night can make you slimmer and healthier.

How many hours should we sleep daily?

If you don't get enough sleep today / tonight, March 17, 2017 is World Sleep Day. More reason to get more sleep on that day. Yeah!!

I'm going to sleep early tonight. Say yes to beauty sleep. Good night, sweet dreams and have an awesome day tomorrow, my friends.
