When I started to train and work out ; I did not know that sleep was so important.
I read a lot and learned about this vast and important subject that concerns us all!
One of the first things to know is the fact that there are different types of naps:
Following the sleepfoundation.org (and I really suggest you to stop by there) here are the 3 types:
"Planned napping: (also called preparatory napping) involves taking a nap before you actually get sleepy. You may use this technique when you know that you will be up later than your normal bed time or as a mechanism to ward off getting tired earlier.
Emergency napping: occurs when you are suddenly very tired and cannot continue with the activity you were originally engaged in. This type of nap can be used to combat drowsy driving or fatigue while using heavy and dangerous machinery.
Habitual napping: is practiced when a person takes a nap at the same time each day. Young children may fall asleep at about the same time each afternoon or an adult might take a short nap after lunch each day".
Personally I am rather for the third type. This is the most beneficial for the body and mind. But it is not always possible to be able to find the time for napping every day of the week in our present societies - especially if working.
In addition, the third type of siesta is one of the secrets of the exceptional longevity of the populations of the Greek islands and into Okinawa JAPAN - but the longevity and the stimulation of the libido (which are linked) will be addressed very soon in another post!
I am interested to know what type of nap are you and why ? And especially if you have good and simple advice in order to relax quickly and fall asleep easily in the afternoon? Because I have received many queries about it and I know this matter poses problems to many people ; so if you know a "technique" it would be interesting to share it with the community!
Thank you so much for liking and resteeming
