NAPPING
Did You Know?
Some of the most notable figures in history were great nappers, including Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, and John F. Kennedy. Studies show that a well-timed afternoon nap may be a good way to combat sleepiness, improve work performance and mood, and overcome late day grogginess.
If you need to take a nap, experts recommend it should occur earlier in the day and be limited to 20-30 minutes. Naps are also not recommended if you suffer from insomnia.
