Dear Kid,

No, I did not make this up. It certainly sounds like something I might have made up, so I can understand the confusion.

Today is the day all college students revere above all others. (OK, OK, above all others except International Beer Day and Last Day of Exams Day.)

Need advice about sleeping? Ask the expert. DearKidLoveMom.comIt is Festival of Sleep Day.

As I may have mentioned once or twice or two thousand times, sleep is important. It helps rejuvenate all those lovely brain cells and freshen those skin cells. It gives the inside of your eyelids something to do. It gives your dreams time to show up. And most importantly, it keeps you from turning into a zombie.

Zombie, bad.

Sleep, good.

I suggest celebrating with a nap. (Or the proverbial “I’m just resting my eyes.”)

Love, Mom
