Re: [fast5] Re: Sleepy after eating

My dh took a picture of my nap yesterday. LOL Texted it to me. I found it this mornign actually. LOL
He took a picture because I had a very large cap napping on me too. When I looked at it this morning I don’t even really remember the cat sleeping on me. I must have been sound asleep and she must have moved before I was fully awake.

Well, in a lot of cultures, people DO sleep in the afternoon. My animals do too. For awhile the idea of a "power nap" was the rage: if you take a small nap in the middle of the day, it increases your mental acuity.

While small children typically take naps in the afternoon, our culture generally frowns upon mid-day sleep; however, even in those who get enough sleep (but particularly in those who don’t), many people experience a natural increase in drowsiness in the afternoon, about 8 hours after waking. And research shows that you can make yourself more alert reduce stress and improve cognitive functioning with a nap. Mid-day sleep, or a ‘power nap’, means more patience, less stress, better reaction time, increased learning, more efficiency and better health.
