Sara C. Mednick details the cognitive benefits of napping, and explores the optimal length and time of day for a quick snooze. Lesson by Sara C. Mednick, directed by Qian Shi.

Or tap in to the transformational power of a good night’s sleep with Matthew Walker’s “Why We Sleep.” You can download free audiobook versions of these books here ....وسعت 2969

    @PeachiiWubsمنذ 3 سنوات The best naps are when they just happen with no plan. You sit down it's oddly comfy then you're just out for a hour but it feels like you slept six, then you have a super productive day. 18974

    @abdullahryazقبل 10 أشهر - A sleep cycle lasts 90 mins, has 4 stages
    - A nap can last b/w 5 mins to 3 hrs
    - 5 to 30 min nap: easy to wake up from as it stops short id="hidden4" class="buttons"> of stage 3/deep sleep
    - 30 to 60 min nap: memory transfer from short term to long term storage, deliver cognitive benefits of deep sleep but most difficult to wake up from
    - 90 min nap: easier to wake up from than stage 3 as brain is quite active during REM sleep
    - Conclusion: Take naps in 30/90 min increments: 30, or 90, or 3 hours (two 90 minute cycles)
    - Morning naps dominated by REM, and evening naps by deep sleep
    - Naps are not for everyone

Working as a teacher now, I try my best to be as understanding as possible with my elementary students, because you can't learn if you are deprived of sleep. Even if it means missing one lesson, it makes them much more productive throughout the rest of the day. Sometimes I even talk with the student that is having the problem and decide that if they need a break to just let me know. ....وسعت 435

    @peacego624منذ 3 سنوات The best nap of my life experience:
    It was my first year at the University. It was heavy winter outside with snow everywhere.
    There I was id="hidden23" class="buttons"> studying in a study place on almost top floor of a university building. The place was super cozy. It looked like some renesanse erra library and it had big window walls on 1 side. Everything was in wood. That day it was around pm and it started tocget darker. Snow was falling outside. I was there since 11am studying sitted on a desk facing the curved glass wall and each time i looked up the view was mesmerising. It was like a fairy tale. And inside it was very warm. There were only a few more people that day there. At one point i just put my hands on the desk and then put my head down on my hands and iwas gonne. The 10minutes before i fall asleep were the most pleasure you fan imagine. After i wake up i felt like reborn. As if i slept 100 years
