A siesta is a great way 2 jumpstart the second half of ur day. Famous nap enthusiasts have included some of the best minds in history, such as Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill & Thomas Edison.
What they knew was that a midday snooze - while seeming 2 be an unproductive use of time - could actually increase their effectiveness.
How long should ur power nap be? It differs 4m person 2 person, but on average, a brief nap 2 revive the brain should be between 15&30 minutes. Sleeping 4 any longer will get u into deeper stages of sleep, 4m which it`s difficult 2 awaken.
In this modern society we`re pressured 2 work hard & then play hard, living by the saying, "U can rest when u'r dead." Modern countries don't value rest. Consequently, most adults are sleep-deprived, and this sort of fatigue affects our health, safety & productivity @ work, which in turn, affects a company's bottom line.
Think about it: sleepy workers make more mistakes & cause more accidents.
