Power Nap Like a Pro

A power nap is a short sleep that ends before deep sleep can occur. The goal of a power nap is to recharge your energy and wake up feeling more alert, cheerful, and productive. For the best power nap, follow these simple rules. 

Train Your Brain – Cue your brain to sleep by using a sleep mask, noise machine or by picking a cool, dark space where you’d typically sleep. 

Set an Alarm – Be warned 30 to 60 minutes could leave you feeling worse. The perfect nap length is only 20 minutes!

Time it Right – The afternoon lull is a natural time for your body to need a rest. Nap about an hour or two after lunch.

Get Back to Work – After your nap jump back into your day. If you need help waking up take a quick walk or splash some cool water on your face.
