The Value of a Nap

Categories
Lifestyle

At some point late in any afternoon, a 20 minute nap is restorative.  It is a break and adds a little recharge to be ready to attack the rest of the day.

On a quiet weekend day, napping plays a different role.  It fits neatly with other types of relaxation like reading a book, watching a movie.  It's not about that extra boost of energy.

I propose that at least four naps a week should be legally required.

Anyone else with me?

I'm with you. Love my weekend naps and, every so often, a midweek secret afternoon power nap. LOL

For some reason I am physically incapable of taking a nap no matter how tired I am. If I am ever sleeping during the day it means I am very very sick.

The best reason to take the train to work is the 10 to 15 power nap. It is the best way to recharge for the night job - family life.

Shall we write our mayor, governor, congress to require naps? I'm ready to sign the petition.
