NATIONAL SLEEPOVER DAY

NATIONAL SLEEPOVER DAY

On May 9, National Sleepover Day provides an opportunity for girls to confide in their friends in a way that can be inspiring, therapeutic, and confidence-building. Let your hair down or put it up. Tell hair-raising stories and laugh until you cry or cry until you laugh.

#NationalSleepoverDay

A sleepover offers more than just movies and gossip. It's an opportunity to be among friends and be yourself. In fact, sleepovers play an important role in both friendships and memory-making. It's a time when women and girls share stories and realize the more we're different, the more we're alike. You'll be among friends, and everyone there thinks you're smart and beautiful, strong, and courageous, too. And if they don't. Well, they soon will because at sleepovers, we tend to bare our souls.

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL SLEEPOVER DAY

Sleepovers encourage bonding and boost friendships so celebrate today with a sleepover. Bring out the pillows and comfy pajamas. Pop lots of popcorn and pick out your favorite movies. Plan makeovers, manicures and pedicures. It's an excellent time to catch up and unwind and the perfect occasion to share your deepest secrets and express yourselves.

Join in the celebration by sharing your sleepover memories by using #NationalSleepoverDay and #SleepintheBare on social media.
