A nap restores alertness.<\/strong> You know how your energy dips in the early afternoon? You start feeling a little sleepy and lose focus. It happens to most of us. A quick nap can bring us back up to speed.<\/p>\n<p>The National Sleep Foundation <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sleepfoundation.org\/article\/sleep-topics\/napping\">recommends<\/a> a short nap of twenty to thirty minutes \u201cfor improved alertness and performance without leaving you feeling groggy or interfering with nighttime sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelhyatt.com\/videos\/the-value-of-naps-from-a-scientific-perspective\">brief video<\/a> that explains the science behind short naps. You can even maximize this benefit by <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelhyatt.com\/extra-energy-at-work.html\">drinking coffee<\/a> directly before putting your head down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. A nap prevents burnout.<\/strong> In our always-on culture, we go, go, go. However, we were not meant to race without rest. Doing so leads to stress, frustration, and burnout.<\/p>\n<p>Taking a nap is like a system reboot. It relieves stress and gives you a fresh start.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.com\/0393345866\/?tag=mhyatt-20\">Research subjects<\/a> who nap show greater emotional resilience, improved cognitive function, and more. Just <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wellnessjunction.com\/athome\/selfcare\/0711news.htm\">thirty minutes<\/a> can prevent the day\u2019s wear and tear from frying your circuits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. A nap heightens sensory perception.<\/strong> According to Dr. Sara C. Mednick, author of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.com\/0761142908\/?tag=mhyatt-20\">Take a Nap, Change Your Life<\/a><\/em>, napping can restore the sensitivity of sight, hearing, and taste.<\/p>\n<p>Napping also improves your creativity by relaxing your mind and allowing new associations to form in it. When it came to making new connections, nappers had the edge in research done by the <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.com\/0393345866\/?tag=mhyatt-20\">City University of New York<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. A nap reduces the risk of heart disease.<\/strong> Did you know those who take a midday siesta at least three times a week are 37 percent less likely to die of heart disease? Working men are 64 percent less likely! It\u2019s true, according to a 2007 study published in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2007\/02\/12\/AR2007021200626.html\">Archives of Internal Medicine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTaking a nap could turn out to be an important weapon in the fight against coronary mortality,\u201d said Dimitrios Trichopoulos of the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, who led the study.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. A nap makes you more productive.<\/strong> The secret to becoming more productive is not managing your <em>time<\/em>; it\u2019s managing your <em>energy<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous studies have shown workers becoming increasingly unproductive as the day wears on. Just think of your own experience. But a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2007\/02\/12\/AR2007021200626.html\">2002 Harvard University study<\/a> demonstrated a thirty-minute nap boosted the performance of workers, returning their productivity to beginning-of-the-day levels.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32089 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fullfocus.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/iStock_000054374962_Medium.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1698\" height=\"1131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fullfocus.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/iStock_000054374962_Medium.jpg 1698w, https:\/\/fullfocus.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/iStock_000054374962_Medium-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fullfocus.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/iStock_000054374962_Medium-1400x933.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/fullfocus.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/iStock_000054374962_Medium-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fullfocus.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/iStock_000054374962_Medium-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fullfocus.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/iStock_000054374962_Medium-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1698px) 100vw, 1698px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Napping Tips<\/h3>\n<p>I typically take a twenty-minute nap right after lunch. If I can\u2019t do it then, I try to squeeze it in before 4:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>While working in a motor shop in college, I would eat lunch in my car and then lie down in the back seat. When I was CEO at Thomas Nelson, I napped in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.relaxtheback.com\/recliners\/zero-gravity\/human-touch-perfect-chairtm-pc-6.html\">zero gravity chair<\/a> that reclined to a horizontal position. Since I now work from my home, I retreat to my bedroom and lie down in my bed.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"tweetable tweetalign_center\" style=\"width:100%\">\n\t\t\t<blockquote>\n\t\t\t\tPeople who nap are not lazy.

This helps stabilize your <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Circadian_rhythm\">circadian rhythms<\/a> and maximize the benefits. One easy way to do this? Schedule it.\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Keep it short.<\/strong> Avoid \u201csleep inertia,\u201d that feeling of grogginess and disorientation that can come from awakening from a deep sleep. Long naps can also negatively impact nighttime sleep. I recommend twenty to thirty minutes tops. Set an alarm on your phone to avoid oversleeping.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Turn off the lights.<\/strong> Light acts as a cue for our bodies. Darkness communicates it is time to shut down\u2014or go into standby mode. If you can\u2019t turn off the lights, use a simple eye mask. I bought mine at Walgreens. Turn the lights back up to full brightness when you wake up.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Use a blanket.<\/strong> When you sleep, your metabolism falls, your breathing rate slows, and your <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Normal_human_body_temperature#Basal_body_temperature\">body temperature drops slightly<\/a>. Though not imperative, you will usually be more comfortable if you use a light blanket when you nap.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Be discreet.<\/strong> Getting caught napping at your desk is not a good way to earn respect. In some old-school environments, it might even get you fired! But most people get an hour for lunch. Eat in half that time and then go snooze in your car, an unused conference room, or even a closet.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally, shift your own thinking about naps. People who take them are not lazy. They might just be the smartest, most productive people you know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a habitual nap-taker.
