Power Nap works 100X better than 3 cups of coffee!

Very helpful info overall. 😊there’s one part that’s a little confusing though…at timestamp 1:45, the PhD lady said that anyone’s who struggling to sleep at night should not nap, but prior to that she suggested it as a potential solution for poor sleep. Is she referring to people who actually have clinical insomnia? It would be helpful to have better clarity re: who napping is NOT for & why. ☺️🕊️

The siesta is for everyone. Our working system is not set up for maximum health and productivity.

I have trouble sleeping but if u think I'm going to ignore a nap that comes my way. Do better research.

I nap for 90 minutes 3 times a week because I have so many dreams at night and wake up at least twice.

I, took a nap on my recliner from 6:35pm I woke up from my nap at 7:12pm, when wheel of fortune was on tv I missed the rest of the show.”

I wish I could nap :( it just doesn’t happen to me.

[kevini]

I enjoy a good nap. It could be 1/2 hour or 3 hours depending on different things.

While there is a lot of research and self-proclaimed 'experts' I have no interest in listening to them. My own physician yes, television experts, no
