Naps are Priceless

A Nap isn’t supposed to take long, but it shouldn’t be any shorter than 30 minutes or you would be torturing your body. If your really sleeping then the recommended maximum is 45 minutes, lying in your bed awake doesn’t count, were talking about sleeping, napping.

Anything above 45 minutes will confuse your body. I know how the story. You wake up wondering which day it is and you don’t want that, cause it actually results in more dizziness than rest.

Naps have great characteristics. Afterwards you’ll be refreshed, spirited and often relieved from your problems. You will be able to think more clearly and hence they will also be priceless if your a hard worker. Whats 30 minutes compared to the hours you cant get past a problem because you cant think straight.

The nap is a tradition in many countries, although there it is referred to as Siesta. This tradition started in spain and through colonialism spread to many latin american countries. In those countries naps are part of the daily business because temperatures can become unbearable and after having lunch you would become so drowsy you had no choice but to take a nap.

But there are also studies that say a 30 minute nap can work wonders in your health and even increase the length of your life.

Unfortunately I don’t take a nap everyday but I know I should. Just try to fit 30 minutes of napping into your schedule each day and you will see how your body will thank you. Trust me you can only win when you take naps.
