Sometimes, these gray winter days make me want to curl up in the middle of the day and sleep until spring.

Shorter naps promote alertness without causing drowsiness later on, so I decided 30 minutes was my sweet spot.

It featured dozens of vendors selling natural remedies, jewelry, food and supplements.
