19 Reasons to Take a Nap

By Queuebot in Everything Else on Jun 3, 2009 at 12:01 am

As if you need that many reasons to take a snooze.

Studies show that not only will you feel better almost immediately, says Sara Mednick, PhD, a sleep medicine researcher at the University of California at San Diego and author of Take a Nap! Change Your Life, but a daily nap of between 20 and 90 minutes before 4:00 pm will also increase your mental performance, reduce your chances of gaining weight, and make you feel a whole lot more like having sex after dinner than you probably do now. What’s more, it won’t affect your nighttime sleep.

does is it still have that effect if you take a 2 hour nap? Is this why other countries have the afternoons off (I forget the word for it, but when they have like an hour to go home and take a nap)? Lucky bastards.

I could write 20 reasons, but I’d rather just take the nap.

I nap, but I doubt it’s a good thing to loose weight… unfortunately.

Maybe such information should go out to employers rather than employees – and convince them to give their employees nap time. The reason “Increase your on-the-job alertness by 100 percent” seems quite convincing.
