Power nap isn't new on the block. Winston Churchill who coined the term "power naps" claims that everyone must sleep some time between lunch and dinner. Margaret Thatcher snoozed around 2.30pm to 3.30pm everyday, George Bush did same around 3pm each day, other nappers include Eleanor Roosevelt and Albert Einstein .Whats new is that its gathered so much momentum that power naps machines now exist, outfits provide services for workers to nap during breaks and the U.S National Transportation Safety Board recently suggested naps on the clock.
Some of the points favoring power naps include
- Power naps keep workers alert especially when safety is of key interest
- improves mood and psycho-motor performance
- improves your heart health after a stressful event
- prevent workers from staring blankly and achieving nothing after several hours at work
- Employers are beginning to embrace the idea of napping.
When power naps are planned and performed properly they are very beneficial.
- Power naps simply put is voluntarily sleeping.
- should last about 20mins
- is best done between 12 noon to 4pm
- remember don't sleep too long
Power nap is not catching 20mins sleep several times in one day that might cost you your job
