Do You Need a Nap to Recharge in the Afternoon?

Do You Need To Take Naps in the Afternoons?


Harness a Power Nap.  Set an alarm for 20 minutes and that’s the “Golden Zone”. Past 90 min places you into REM sleep and before then, you go into a deep sleep.  You don’t want this during the day.

Just to dive into a quick power nap to recover, recharge but not set you in a deep trance that’s hard to break out of once the REM sleep happens.  10-20 minutes is perfect to sit still, relax the body, drop the head beat and lower the body temperature.

Also the position you relax while napping upright and not laying completely flat is an important technique because you just want to relax the mind and not knock your mind and body completely into your nighttime mode.

I can’t take naps because IT ALWAYS interferes with my nighttime sleep and since I sleep so light, it really sucks to catch up my lifestyle after I take a nap.  The sleep Inertia for me is something I’d rather go to bed early and wake up early rather than stay up late and try to “catch up” on my 💤 by taking a nap.

What works best for you?

I woke up 4am.  Was out the door at 8am and the bank and print business weren’t open till 9am.  So I went to the gas station to fill up and then went home and walked the dogs.  Boy, all the time I have. Today I printed my new business cards, picked up my latest edition of New Mind, New You Book, consigned some clothes at Buffalo Clothing Exchange, posted a few items for sale on Facebook Marketplace, blogged on my website, went grocery shopping at Wal-Mart, went to LVAC for calves, abs and cardio and even had enough time to was able to go home to Gene and go over our day and just hanging out for a bit before bedtime. I am in amazement over having almost no anxiety.  That’s a biggest part I see.  Also not wasting time scrolling, posting or writing content and really finishing my day doing serious constructive activities to make a living.  I'm also not needing to take pictures of everything I see or am doing thinking that it would make a good ...

What would your Mandala look like?    What colors and shapes would you choose?  How would it represent you? Color therapy is real. It’s defined as Chromotherapy. But let’s go into details about what a Mandala is and how it defines and represents you. A mandala is an integrated structure organized around a unified center.  From the classical Indian word “Sanskrit” And loosely translated to mean “Circle” but a mandala is far more than just a circle.  It represents wholeness, and can be seen as a organize structure to represent the meaning of life.  A mandala diagrams the infinite meaning into our soul and representatives a dream into our being both in this world and past that to what we cannot see.

What is Whey and Caesin Protein? Dairy protein supplements best selling 2 source of protein powders on the market. How do these powerhouses compare?  Both are complete proteins with amino acids and easily digested by 97% in the body.  Both are extremely popular but don’t share the same benefits. Whey-  their digestion faster rate to reach amino acids higher and reach blood faster Caesin-with a curdling effect is slower up to 8 hours in the body and slowly digested. Lucien is a amino binding syntheses and has more immediate to the body with whey and spikes blood sugars higher but Caesin carries more protein syntheses is also leaves the blood elevated up to 36 hours which releases less Lucien levels than whey. So which one is the best one to take? Caesin focused on protein breakdown with less luecin but whey has a faster generated effect to effect muscle gains in a quicker process.  So yes, whey is a short part more faster to recover but ...
