Aug. 10 was been designated National Lazy Day.
Timed for this loafy day of obligation, the folks at Berkshire Blanket & Home Co. commissioned a survey about our slacking habits, and they found one lazy day a year doesn’t cut it.
In fact, the poll showed that Americans say they need an average of 60 lazy days per year — or more than one a week — to feel truly rested.
Sunday was the most popular designated do-nothing day, the poll found, preferred over Saturday (39% vs. 27%).
Just 5% kick back on the least popular lazy day, Tuesday.
The survey also revealed that 72% say they keep their lazy days a secret from other people — no use having others harsh your me time.
In fact, a third of those polled say they’ll take a lazy day just so they don’t have to interact with people.
As for what we do when we’re doing nothing, 58% will get reacquainted with their couch. Four percent will while the day away laying on the floor.
However you choose to observe, here’s to doing nothing on Saturday.
