How can you maximize your brain power with a 20-minute nap?
Since she started working from home, Kendra King usually naps for 20 to 30 minutes in the early afternoon. The Philadelphia writer King stated, "I usually go in to lay down and rest, rather than with the intention of napping." "After that, I fall asleep and wake up with a renewed sense of energy to carry on with my day."
King was unaware that she had become used to the recommended nap schedule by sleep specialists. Or even if she has experienced it, researchers claim that quick naps improve motor abilities, memory, and creativity.
According to Maas, the author of "Sleep for Success! Everything You Must Know About Sleep But are Too Tired to Ask," almost everyone has a dip in energy in the afternoon.
It all comes down to the circadian cycle of the body, which involves two periods of sleepiness in a 24-hour period: one at night and another between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m.
Only stage-two sleep, which is especially beneficial for alertness and memory, is included in shorter naps, according to University of California-Irvine sleep researcher Sara Mednick.
Take a nap! author Mednick described it as "like putting yourself into low-power mode just for a little bit and letting your body recuperate." Modify your existence.
