Four Points by Sheraton Offers Sleep-deprived Travelers a Nap-portunity
WHITE PLAINS, NY, April 3, 2006. Are you one of the 75 percent of adults who experiences daytime sleepiness? Studies show that over 50 percent of adult Americans are sleep-deprived or "nap ready." To address this growing epidemic of sleepy citizens, the Four Points by Sheraton brand is working with the Nap Doctor to celebrate the seventh annual National Napping Day on Monday, April 3, 2006.
This April you don't need an excuse to take a nap; instead, Four Points by Sheraton hotels will provide guests with everything needed to sneak in the extra winks required to re-energize weary travelers. In keeping with Four Points by Sheraton's commitment to providing honest, uncomplicated comfort, the moderately priced Starwood brand is inviting guests to indulge in the luxury of a little extra shut-eye with a NapPORTUNITY package, available weekends throughout April at select properties* by calling 1-800-368-7764 or visiting www.fourpoints.com/nap. The NapPORTUNITY includes:
Special weekend rates starting at $95 per night.
Complimentary breakfast & late checkout.
A Four Points by Sheraton NapSack at check-in to encourage a "nap-attack" on the Four Points by Sheraton Four Comfort Bed. This take home NapSack includes a Bucky's 40 Blinks Utlralight Sleep Mask, Badger Sleep Balm, "The Art of Napping" book by nap expert Bill Anthony, a "Nap in Progress" door hanger and a snuggly Teddy Bear (aka a "napnomic device") to cozy up with so future naps will be equally fun and relaxing.
And, if you need to explain to a non-believer why you needed a nap, there is also a Nap Excuse Pad to arm you with suitable spunky responses. The Four Points by Sheraton brand is the official hotel sponsor of National Napping Day, which was created by Boston University Professor William A. Anthony**, Ph.D. and his wife Camille Anthony, president of The Napping Company, in 1999. National Napping Day follows on the heels of Daylight Savings Time when we all "spring forward" and lose a much-needed hour of sleep. According to the Nap Doctor, the best way to deal with the time change is a change in perspective: you are not sleep deprived; rather, you are nap ready and in search of a napping opportunity!
