“To nap or not to nap?”WE ARE CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHIP ANY ORDERS FOR THE NEXT 5 PLUS WEEKS. SORRY FOR THE INCONVIENCE. So, what's the low-down on napping? First, if you have trouble falling asleep, you should probably avoid napping. Naps can take away from your ability to get a good night's sleep and fall asleep at your 'designated' bedtime. If you find yourself getting one continuous sound sleep throughout the night, and you still find yourself experiencing sleepiness during the day, you are probably not replenishing your sleep debt while sleeping. In this case, you might consider napping. Naps can actually be very healthy, if you are still able to get a good night's sleep and fall asleep at your fitting bedtime.
That is pretty simple right? Sure it is! Let us not stop here though and give you some more information! More and more, sleep professionals and corporate organizations are realizing how napping can help worker's levels of productivity. Some workplaces have even gone as far as providing a napping area for their workers. We at Innovative Sleep Solutions Inc. have! Why not…companies provide people with a coffee room for coffee breaks! Providing napping areas seems just as legitimate a providing coffee break areas to the well informed. After all, studies have shown that many top executives take "power naps" for a few minutes during the day to help them recharge the old batteries! If it helps them, for the same reasons, it surely will help everyone else! It has been statistically show that these napping areas provided for workers has led to less sick time, greater productivity, higher work satisfaction, less errors, which can lead to a better bottom-line for the organizations! In time, we believe as more companies realize the benefits of providing such areas for the employees we will see an increase of the amount of companies who provide such 'rest areas'. "So how long should I nap?" Ideally, a nap should last from 15 to 30 minutes. If we nap any longer, there is a good chance we will feel a residual impact from falling into a deeper sleep, or delta-phase sleep. If you are already heavily sleep deprived, it is advised to go ahead and sleep longer, a full 1 ˝ hours, thereby completing a full sleep cycle. If this option is taken, leave yourself about ˝ an hour to become fully awake again. Remember, if you nap this long, you can consider this part of your overall recommended nightly sleep. Also, napping should be something we do as a routine and habit, and not something we only do from time to time. Weekend napping seems like a great idea on the surface, but it can have an affect of resetting our biological clocks, which can lead troubles getting to sleep at our normal bedtime. This is why we should not nap late in the afternoon, as it can shift our regular sleep time back. Sounds crazy, doesn't it…rules of napping? Our advice is to check it out for your self, and be your own sleep doctor. Find what works for you and just remember some of the things you have learned to adjust and make your own sleep routine work for you. Here are a few napping tips to help you along the way:
