No, you are not dreaming. But, perhaps you should be. Festival of Sleep Day is today. It is an opportunity to sleep in, snooze, doze, nap, and catch 40 winks.

It's the perfect date for a Festival of Sleep Day. Xmas is over...Wow, weren't they exhausting! It's cold and snowy.... time to hibernate. And, why not re-charge the batteries as a new year of school and work begins?

Festival of Sleep Day is a favourite holiday to catch up on a little sleep. Whether its all day, a full 8 hours, or just a power nap, enjoy the day sleeping. Cosy up in bed on the couch, or any other comfortable place. Oh.... don't forget your favourite Teddy Bear.  It's okay to sleep alone, or with someone else, as long as they don't snore !

Warning 1: Sleeping at work is not recommended, today, or any day. The only exception is for bed testers.

Warning 2: The NHS has determined that sleeping is good for your health.

I love to sleep

To snuggle and snooze

When I'm tired or sodden

with booze

I know I snore

the noise is bad

Like the decibels from

a rocket launchpad

I wake myself 

My snores so loud

A rumbling human

dry storm cloud

I'm sure the windows

rattle and shake

The house must rumble

audible earthquake

I've slept on my front

I've slept on my back

My memory mattress

is an amnesiac 

So what should I do?

What steps can I take?

Never sleep again

I'll just stay awake
