Nap Time?

Have you ever felt like you needed a nap after lunch? Me too! It turns out that it could be good for you.

Apparently, napping during the day is a great way to relieve stress on your heart. A 30 minute nap in the middle of the day gives your body the opportunity to rejuvinate (big word huh?). The study goes on to say:

Some of the reviving benefits of naps include enhanced cognitive function, better reaction time, more patience, stress relief, and better overall health.

I suppose the idea of a mid-day Siesta is not a bad idea. I know one thing when I am done eating at a Mexican restaurant I feel like I need a siesta.

Caution: Mid-day napping could be hazadous to your employment.

Maybe we could start with 15 minutes.
