POWER NAPPP..ZZZ...!!!

 

POWER NAP

Chota pack bada recharge!!

This is what comes to my mind when I think of power nap-a quick burst of energy, freshness, improved cognitive skills & creativity.

I get up early in the morning and got to bed late at night. The next day there’s so much of fatigue ,low energy as if  my brains have freezed ,no mood to work at all .I just feel I get a sound sleep and no snooze button ! I look like a zombie with eyes all out !!! At noon 3.00 pm my eyes start drooping at work and I doze off for 10-15 mins hiding from my Boss (that’s what I am paid for. Loll).After 15 mins when I open my eyes there is an array of energy, strange power within like  powerpuff gurls  and I am back to my work in full swing.

I am sure many of you must be facing this and wondering whether this 15 mins should be there everyday or you rather be caught and kicked out of your hot seat at work.

Daytime naps can be one way to treat sleep deprivation. You can get incredible benefits from 15 to 20 minutes of napping. "You reset the system and get a burst of alertness and increased motor performance. That's what most people really need to stave off sleepiness and get an energy boost."

 BENEFITS:

·         Naps can restore alertness, enhance performance, and reduce mistakes and accidents. A study at NASA on sleepy military pilots and astronauts found that a 40-minute nap improved performance by 34% and alertness 100%.

·         Naps can increase alertness in the period directly following the nap  and may extend alertness a few hours later in the day.

·         Scheduled napping has also been prescribed for those who are   affected by narcolepsy.

·         Napping has psychological benefits. A nap can be a pleasant luxury, a mini-vacation. It can provide an easy way to get some relaxation and rejuvenation.

Most people are aware that driving while sleepy is extremely dangerous. Still, many drivers press on when they feel drowsy in spite of the risks, putting themselves and others in harm's way. While getting a full night's sleep before driving is the ideal, taking a short nap before driving can reduce a person's risk of having a drowsy driving crash. Sleep experts also recommend that if you feel drowsy when driving, you should immediately pull over to a rest area, drink a caffeinated beverage and take a 20-minute nap.

 

So better take out some time daily and power yourself!
