how to Power Nap

Power napping is very good for you....it brings up your alertness and energy, although it's quite short. napping for too long will just keep you drowsy. So just follow these rules and thank the scientists that had to test so many naps.

Rules for Power napping

1. Find a good place to nap, and if it's daylight, try to make everything darker. Sunglasses, tinted windows, and sleep masks all help.
2. Drink something with caffeine. This may sound crazy but it's not---the caffeine won't kick in immediately and will lessen how sleepy you are when you wake up.
3. Put an alarm clock on for 15 minutes. If you're one of those people who like to hit the snooze button (like me), put the alarm at the other side of the room so you have to get up and turn it off.
4. Get up as soon as the alarm goes off. Sleeping for more than 20 minutes will leave you sluggish and more tired than ever. In other words-no help.

Well I'm off, to try this. Happy Napping!
