Heck, it's gotten so bad that recently in New Orleans, a burglar broke into a preschool, had a snack, and took a nap, before leaving with a couple of bags of stolen items. reported unintentionally falling asleep, and 7.2% of 25-to-34-year-olds, 5.7% of 35-to-44-year-olds and 3.9% of 45-to-54-year-olds nodded off or fell asleep while driving. A study conducted in 2009 found that in a one-month period, over 34% of adults in the U.S. do not get the recommended minimum of seven hours of sleep a night. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that roughly one third of adults in the U.S. 1.2 million working days and $411 billion a year.

The next napercise sessions will be taking place in Bromsgrove on the 8th June and Worcester on the 9th June, with future plans to roll out classes across David Lloyd Clubs nationwide.According to Lee Moran, writing for the HuffPost (formerly the Huffington Post before recently losing its -ington), over a hundred people have already signed up for free trials of Napercise being offered by the club. The class is predominantly aimed at parents but you actually do not need to have a child to take part. ![]() ![]() These include boosting alertness, alleviating anxiety or stress and improving your mood. The class also takes inspiration from past academic studies into the important health benefits that napping in the day can bring.
