Next Friday
Finns can celebrate the National Sleepy Head Day. On July 27th the
last person in the house to wake up is woken up using water. We have a permission
to throw the Sleepy Head into a lake our the sea. If there aren’t any water
bodies nearby a bucket of water is also a suitable option.
Our silly
little tradition is based on the story of Saint of Ephesus who slept in a cave
for some 200 years during the Middle Ages. He was hiding from the Roman Emperor
Decius and fell a sleep. Obviously he had a great bed in that cave, why else
would someone sleep for 200 years?

Hotel
Merihovi’s staff is quite aware of the fact that you may wake your family member
with a bucket of water once a year. On the other hand we do respect our
costumers and leave them alone. But we do recommend getting up before 9 AM or
else you might miss our delicious breakfast buffet.
Whatever the
case and you feel like sleeping in next Friday just put a “Do not disturb” sign
in your door and the maids will clean your room later. Our Hotel guarantees
great sleep so there is no reason for us not to celebrate National Sleepy Head
Day every day.
