As a Mom of three young children, all preschool age, common sense has taught me that naps for both my children, and for myself are a benefit not only to our moods, but our level of health as well.

I work widely varying shifts and often nap for up to 30 minutes on my break when I feel the need. However the main stumbling blocks would seem to be my fondness of caffeine and beer. I drink anything between 5 and 15 mugs of tea or coffee every day and, while I rarely perceive an effect on my alertness or ability to sleep, I would expect this to be much more apparent if I attempted polyphasic sleep. As for the beer, I wouldn’t describe myself as a lush, but I do enjoy going out for the night with my friends and I can’t see how I could find a place or an excuse to nap in the pub. For the time being then, I’ll stick to experimenting with taking naps. Until recently, I dismissed naps as a fad that might work for some people, but it certainly wouldn’t work for me. Whenever I tried taking a nap (at home in the afternoon) I invariably ended up sleeping for 3 or 4 hours and waking up feeling groggy, wondering why I bothered wasting my time. However, I eventually found that Steve Pavlina is right — it’s crucial that you sleep for no more than 30 minutes in order to reap the benefits of a nap without getting to the stage where you feel groggy or tired.

I guess its just natural to feel drowsy when noon draws near. I remembered a few weeks ago, 5 Reasons to Take Naps. Its already noon, after brief discussion about the functionality of a website I’m building here at work, I’m gonna take a POWER nap for about 30 minutes. Oh yeah, my cellphone alarm is set so hopefully it wont drag too long.
