Did you know? Today’s National Napping Day!

There’s nothing sweeter than the sight of a napping baby or toddler. My two were champion sleepers. I have photos to prove it!
And let’s not underestimate the value of a nap for us grown-ups. A weekend afternoon power nap is one of the finest things on earth. Did you know that there’s even a national holiday all about napping? It’s time to celebrate the gift of sweet slumber….it’s National Napping Day 2010!

To help celebrate, Protect-a-Bed, manufacturer of premium mattress protectors, crib protectors, and pillow protectors, is sponsoring a super contest!
Here’s a brief snippet about Protect-a-Bed’s exceptional line of products:
Protect-A-Bed offers consumers a complete line of protective bedding products to create a Healthy Sleep Zone. The unique technology featured in Protect-A-Bed’s mattress and pillow protectors was developed in South Africa in 1980 before the company was officially established in the United States in 2000. Now selling in 27 countries, Protect-A-Bed is a worldwide leader in mattress protection innovation. The company developed the proprietary Miracle Membrane® and patented Bug Lock® and Secure Seal®, which help create a dry, bed bug free, anti-allergy sleep zone for people of all ages. Protect-A-Bed products are listed as a Class 1 Medical Device with the Food and Drug Administration and have received the Good Housekeeping Seal.
Napping improves memory function, elevates work production, and boosts overall health. With Protect-a-Bed’s line of products, you can nap serenely, both body and mind, knowing that dust mites and allergens, as well as damage from liquids or stains, are no longer a concern.
So — about that contest!
Today only, March 15th, Protect-a-Bed is giving away sets of their Premium Pillow Protectors. All you have to do to participate is follow Protect-a-Bed on Twitter (@Protect_A_Bed) and share the funniest place you’ve ever taken a nap! (**Be sure to use the hashtag #nappingday in your tweet when sharing your funniest/strangest napping location.)
THAT’S NOT ALL!

Here on Muse Reviews, courtesy of Protect-a-Bed, I’m also giving away one Queen Size Protect-A-Bed Premium Mattress Cover — a $79.99 value — to one of my readers!
(The Protect-a-Bed Premium Mattress Protector includes a 10-year warranty, and withstands a minimum of 200 washings and dryings. It is waterproof while remaining vapor porous, just like human skin. There is no plastic-y feel or sound with this mattress protector! A terrycloth top layer makes this one of the softest mattress protectors you can buy.)
Here’s how to enter:
1. MANDATORY: Tell me, in a comment below, another product by Protect-a-Bed you’d find useful at your house….or something interesting your learned from their website.
2) For an extra entry, subscribe to Muse Reviews’ feed — tell me in a separate comment if you’re a new subscriber or already a subscriber.
3) For a third entry, become friends with Muse Reviews on Facebook, then tell me you did so in a separate comment below.
4) For a fourth entry, twitter about this contest using @MuseReviews within your tweet, then tell me in a separate comment that you twittered!
I’ll close the contest this Sunday, March 21st, 2010 at 11pm EST. Sorry, US entries only. Good luck!
CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.
Congratulations to the winner, commenter #61, Jennifer M!
