Hey Everyone!
Have you ever heard of "National Public Sleeping Day?" I couldn't believe it was a real thing, so of course I had to research it! It turns out that National Public Sleeping (now celebrated on February 28th) originated in 1817, when Robert Owen, a social reformer in the early labor movement, campaigned for an eight-hour workday to encourage more hours of sleep.
Once you start thinking about it, you’ll likely realize you’ve slept in quite a few public places. Of course, anyone on an airplane, train, or bus could easily check off a public nap. Airports, movie theaters, schools, churches, and shopping malls are also likely spots for a little public shut-eye. Where else have you found yourself fast asleep amongst strangers? Share your thoughts with me by emailing jplyouthservices@coj.net, subject line: Teen Think Tank.
Stay safe and have a great week!
