Short post today — getting late for bed!!

Do you love napping after a long day? I know I do…(And, I also know I overdo it sometimes!)

But the question is…do naps help you or harm you? Just read on and I’ll let you know the full deal on naps and napping

I just finished reading an excellent book on sleep - sleeping less, becoming more energetic etc and one of the interesting thing the author talks about is the concept of naps.

And here’s the news:

Napping is good for you as long as you don’t overdo it! A short 30-45 min nap will give you a ton of energy without pushing you down into deep sleep which makes it harder to get up and become productive.

Apparently it’s all about our sleep cycle and Kacper (the author) has a ton of great graphs to show you how the sleep cycle goes on… It’s pretty cool..but what’s cooler is the fact that a short 30-45 minute nap can really boost your productivity..

AND…help you clear your head. I usually take a nap when I have a big decision to make and I’m completely split or after a really long and tiring day. The nap helps me get up and get back straight to work. It’s a good way to let your brain relax (and find you answers without you having to think about it)
