The Guide to a Perfect Nap

Tuesday, 03 September 2013 | by Pat's Picks

Napping is an art. And today in the Wall Street Journal, there’s a great guide to help you take one the right way. The first thing to think about is duration and the fact that longer is not always better. The 10- to 20-minute power nap, for example, is much more effective for a boost in energy than the 30-minute cat nap. If you need help remembering names and faces later in the day, try to squeeze in a 60-minute snooze, and try to make it between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., so it doesn’t mess with your sleep cycle.
