National Sleepover Day is a holiday that’s observed annually on May 9th and encourages people to get together with their friends and family members to organize their own sleepover.

Sleepovers are not only a way for people to get together to watch movies and do each other’s makeup, but it’s a bonding experience that can create memories that last for a lifetime. It’s a time when everyone shares a communal experience that helps with developing social skills and is just plain fun. That’s why everyone should enjoy a sleepover with the people they love.

The History Of National Sleepover Day

This holiday was created by two companies with a vested interest in encouraging more girls to have slumber parties. These two companies are Cosmopolitan and bareMinerals. They created this holiday back in 2017 to encourage more girls to have sleepovers. It’s a holiday that has since taken on a life of its own and has been celebrated around the world.
