Nap your way to Success

As a school going kid, we always had the privilege to rest our way to Bed, post an exhausting school routine and before we pounced on to the play ground, super charged and full of energy, only to return home before daylight turns into night.

Much later in life, I realized the importance of that afternoon nap routine, a guaranteed way to achieve the highest level of productivity.

Many Asian countries China, Japan, Vietnam etc. promote afternoon nap routine for school kids as well as grown ups.

The Nap rule : the best nap is ideal before 3.00 PM in the afternoon and should be limited to not more than 20 minutes. One should condition the mind to precisely nap for 20 minutes, close your eyes and command your self to wake up in 20 minutes. Upon waking up, you shall feel fully rejuvenated with a fresh boost of energy, helping you with added alertness and a calm mind.

Nap to Productivity

Anything more than 20 minutes leads to lethargy and tiredness, whereas a 20 minute nap will boost your energy levels, helping you be more efficient and productive in your work day.

As a practice, children growing up are forced to sleep in the afternoon to recharge and help stimulate their physical and mental growth.

As adults, if we too manage to take a 20 minute nap either on our desk post lunch or may be in the car, it will definitely help us spend the second half of the day full of alertness without needing that second cup of coffee.

You can definitely enhance your productivity and chances to succeed with a powerful Nap routine.

Pro tip : Use a Eye mask for that deep doze of Sleep.
