CONFESS!!!!!! You believe in the power of the POWER NAP

I do!!!

I had to run home for lunch time because I forgot to bring back to work some documents I need for my monthly report. I only live 10 minutes from work so I figured I'd run home during my lunch break and grab them.

While I was home, my ass was STILL dragging from the Boston gathering so I set the alarm on my cell phone and I took a 20 minute power nap.

Now I'm feeling on top of the world. I think Power Naps Rule!!

(for those who don't know what a power nap is - it's a very brief nap that although it lasts for just a few minutes it clears up the sleepiness and exhaustion you're feeling during the middle of a work day)

7. Preach on LynneSin!!!

I average 4-5 hours of actual sleep a night, and I owe my sprightlyness to a 20-minuter at about 1:30 PM in my office. I just ease back the office chair and snooze out. I am at the point now where I wake up in twenty minutes with needing a clock.

8. I thought they were called "disco naps".

You know, come home, take a quick 15 minute nap, then HIT THE DISCO. At least that's how a friend of mine described them. :shrug:
