Napping

Submitted by jaz on June 15, 2008 - 10:05am.

This article talks about the advantages of napping and how it is part of our primate background.  I was interested to find out that the period of 1:00-2:00 pm is a time when the body naturally starts to feel sleepy--a time when I'm usually driving home from work unfortunately.  No wonder I almost always have to stop for a coffee break.  I might try to adjust my schedule now that I know this.

Well, I thought so anyway.  Can a night owl become a morning person?

I just wish I was a cat. They're the epitome of frequent naps throughout the day. Smile 

...and leaving their paw prints all over your windshield after you've just washed your car.

After decades of being scorned because of our --alleged-- abuse of 'siesta', we Spaniards have to suffer this...

So it's not good unless some guy from the US says it is? Harrumph... Tongue out

Of course not, DB...and I'm sure we'll find a way to justify napping by it's ability to make us all more productive and extend the work day!
