Saturday Stress Buster- Take A Nap

Taking a nap is like hitting the reset button for your mind and body, allowing you to wake up refreshed and ready to conquer the world. Unknown

A nap is one of the most holiest activities you can do. Sometimes, in the middle of the day, you need to do a reset and go to sleep. I believe taking a nap is among my top five favorite things. I admit I would take a nap daily if I could, but my husband and I are raising our two grandchildren, so we don't get to take many intentional naps—just dozing in the chair at the end of the day when we are all sleepy.

But the kind of nap good for the mind, body, and soul is where you find a place to snuggle in, relax, and allow sleep to take over. This is what I am inviting you to do. Take a guilt-free nap today.

There are benefits to napping:

• Increases Alertness

• Improved Mood

• Enhanced Creativity

• Stress Reduction

• Increased Productivity

• It proves your physical well-being

• Recovery and Restoration

If you are wondering how long you should nap, a restorative nap is around 90 minutes because it allows you to complete an entire sleep cycle. This aids you in physical and mental recovery.

So take a nap and wake up ignited!
