Sleep: (sshhhh…) "Power Napping"
By award-winning author and stress-relief expert Susie Mantell
The REAL Secret to Success:
More and more businesses are recognizing the tremendous benefits to their employees when time is allowed for "Power-Napping".
You know... I recall as a little girl, having terrible difficulty grasping the concept that if I no longer wanted to have my bangs…I would have to let them grow! (So I tried to cut them off!) There's a similar phenomenon here: If you want to be able to go and go and get the job done….you really need to stop and rest.
Isn't life funny?
Busy people often find that taking twenty minutes to a half-hour rest the body-mind-spirit during a busy day, will provide them with 3-4 more productive, focused hours to achieve their goals and objectives.
Sneak off for a 20 minute nap. Set a timer so you can relax without worry. You'll be amazed!
