Do you know that taking a nap helps us a lot? Most people that are at work and they really work hard and almost have no rest because they have a lot of family obligations and they think that when they take a nap it is a big loss of time and they will be delayed in finishing the work they want to finish. . That is the big mistake of hardworking people who think that for the sake of the family they give all their time to work hard as just to provide for the family and do not even think of themselves and ignore the body pain even if it needs a break and even that over fatigue. So often especially at a younger age they are hard at work because they think they are still healthy. But as they mature and reach their 40's, their bodies will begin to shrink. They will get sick and they will experience that their strength is really different than when they were young.
We cannot deny that in the pandemic we are experiencing today it has a huge impact on all of us and we are all watching every news on TV and need to be alert to every news and follow what is alerted to us. By the same token government and by health experts or doctors to prevent exposure to the Virus. So most people are always watching the news on TV and almost never sleep with worry. There’s a pressure to know every detail that happens in the world. But along with that urgency we should remind ourselves that health is wealth. Despite all worries we must think of ourselves once in a while and get rid on it. Let’s always take care of our body despite all the traumas happening today.
That was Toni Morrison said in her work Peril that amid chaos, "stillness is an option.” When I practice napping after something troubles me, my mind becomes clear. After resting, I try to confide in my elders and loved ones instead of mindless online or offline behavior. Rest allows you to understand traumas or ideas, a grace that extends to your surroundings. Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés, an author describes in her book, Women Who Run With the Wolves, how “intentional solitude begins to act like a vital respiratory system, a natural rhythm of adding knowledge, making minute adjustments, and deleting the unusable over and over again.”
Tricia Hersey, the nap guru and founder of The Nap Ministry an organization that promotes napping through workshops and theories on how to rest, explains that napping is an ancient practice, not a wellness trend. She says all she needs is her comfy couch, sleep mask, and blanket, crocheted by her sister, to transform herself. “Something about a couch nap feels unexpectedly different from a bed,” Hersey says. With enough experience in napping, Hersey still finds hidden gems. She started wearing an eye mask two years ago. “I’ve been missing out! I keep them at workshops now. Essential oils, too.” Adding that she uses them, “even if I don’t take a full nap or drift off into a sleep cycle.”
Yasmin Elhady, a lawyer-comedian-relationship expert, was raised in an Egyptian culture of napping. She says her husband makes fun of her excessive naps. (She had just woken up from a nap when we chatted on the phone.) “I get crazy if I don't nap,” she says. Figuring out a nap routine is like building a skincare regimen. I'll spend 20 minutes doing an oil cleanse in the midafternoon some days because I feel like it's what my skin needs. With napping, we similarly move according to the different grooves of our day. Ariana Huffington, the founder of Huffington Post, loves napping so much that it inspired her to create Thrive Global, to promote rest, in 2016. The company’s offices in New York, San Francisco, Athens, Mumbai, and Melbourne all have nap rooms, which “were almost always in use back when people were working at the office,” Huffington says. When Huffington worked crazy hours as the founder of Huffington Post, she often napped on flights if she didn’t get enough sleep. She created Thrive because, well, napping worked. Huffington believes napping should be a priority if you're tired. “Instead of reaching for a Cinnamon Bun or any kind of sugar rush to give you energy, a short nap can be deeply energizing,” she says. “I always wake up feeling recharged and ready to get back to work."We know, for many, napping is the only thing holding them together. But one thing for sure napping has been a Godsend.So many have been knocked out of their routines, and fitting in even a 20-minute nap on a day when they didn’t get enough sleep can be game-changing.” You know when you wake up from an amazing nap and forget who and what you are. Try to imagine and think We love these trance-like moments. It’s like an inescapable yet vital pause. We think of it as a mini-reminder of how fleeting time is.
So this is for everybody friendly advice that we must incorporate napping into our daily routine. “You sleep when you can.”There are plenty of high-performance people who achieve things and take naps. We been able to do extraordinary things in our life. And we should take naps.” Since napping can be very beneficial and can, in part, make up for sleep lost due to work, kids or anything happened at night. Short naps can improve alertness, mood, and memory. When you nap, aim for around ten to 30 minutes, absolutely this will stop you from reaching deep sleep and won’t interfere with your night-time sleep routine.
