Did you know that<\/strong> Workplace accidents and errors peak at exactly the same times that our circadian rhythms cause a drop in alertness – between 2 and 5 p.m.!<\/p>\n

“Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o’clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.” ~ Barbara Jordan<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Exhausted Modern World.<\/strong>
\nThe modern world puts enormous value on being as productive as humanly possible, which translates into working through lunch, staying late at the office, scheduling play-dates up the wazoo (or is it gazoo?)<\/em>, taking extra classes.<\/p>\n

You name it, and we’re trying to fit it into our schedules. Our calendars are about to go up in smoke!<\/p>\n

When exhausted you function less efficiently, feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and guess what … you eat more. Your body is sending signals that you are low on energy, because it needs more fuel to keep going!<\/p>\n

What to do?<\/strong><\/em> Take a nap!<\/p>\n

Downtime\/Nap Time: A Natural Part of Your Day.<\/strong>
\nNapping is an opportunity for our minds and body to take a break. Many mammals take naps; and in other parts of the world, napping a.k.a. siestas are worked into the daily routine.<\/p>\n

Napping Promotes Health and Well-Being:<\/strong>
\n30 minute naps promote physical well-being, improve memory and mood;
\n20 minute naps sharpen your senses and revitalize you; and
\n10 minute naps can improve mood … feel happy!<\/p>\n

If possible, take a nap at the same time every day and use an alarm clock (initially, anyway, until it becomes a part of your routine).<\/em><\/p>\n

Know This: <\/strong>Napping is essential to your well-being. It’s okay to crawl up in a corner for a few minutes and close your eyes.<\/p>\n
