Do this twice a day and it will refresh you and relax you and make you feel better.
Set
a timer for about 20 minutes, maybe a couple of extra minutes, but not
much more. If you only nap 20 minutes or so you won't go into a deep
sleep state, which can take longer to wake up from and can leave one
groggy.
You can also do the hookups position and/or some yogic
breathing before your power nap to make it even more refreshing and
relaxing. And/or add the hypnotic relaxation in the following tool
description to relax even more completely.
Time these power naps
at the natural low energy points of your day and they will have even
more benefit for you. Research has indicated that we go through a cycle
of alertness and sleepiness during the day that corresponds to the
different levels of sleep at night, the alertness matching the periods
of light sleep and the sleepiness matching the periods of deep sleep.
Some
researchers believe that napping or resting briefly during these dips
in our energy cycle are effective in helping us restore our body and
mind, and help process our experiences. There is some indication that
they also help people avoid emotional overload and enable more robust
health and wellbeing.
