It revives mental alertness like no double-espresso can. That post-lunch slump? A well- timed nap – 15-20 min – can recharge your cognitive batteries, leaving you sharper and more attentive.
Cortisol, the stress hormone, can wreak havoc on your body. A brief nap helps lower cortisol levels, leaving you feeling calmer and more resilient to workplace pressures. Opting for a mini-shutdown can be prepping for a creativity boost. Continuous work, especially of the mechanical kind, has never produced a good, never mind brilliant, idea.
A mid-work nap allows your subconscious mind to connect dots, leading to fresh insights and creative solutions. Apart from lifting your mood. So, find a quiet office corner, or just ‘head-down’ your workstation and let the slow joys of a power nap envelop you. Your work – and your well-being – will thank you. And, hopefully, your floor manager, too.
