Everyone who knows me well knows that I’m a strong supporter of taking naps. With a busy schedule, early mornings, and late nights, sometimes it’s hard to properly function without getting some shuteye in the middle of the day. Here are just ten of the reasons I couldn’t live without naps:
1. It can be hard to get a good, full night sleep
Sometimes when life gets tough or especially busy, you can't always get enough sleep at night, so you have to make up for it during the day.
2. They only take up a short amount of time
Naps can last for hours, but sometimes the best ones happen quickly.
3. Sleeping is good for you
Literally every doctor reccommends that you get a sufficient amount of sleep.
4. They can give you a little boost of energy
When you're sleepy, a nap can usually cure you and curb the issue!
5. They can improve your attitude
It's the perfect way to fix 'waking up on the wrong side of the bed".
6. Naps can be taken at any time of the day
9am, 2pm, 8pm... it's always an acceptable time to snooze.
7. Naps can be taken (almost) anywhere
I can't even tell you all the places I've napped (or seen others napping) besides my bed.
8. They can soothe stress
You can't get stressed out while you sleep... plus taking a step back can give you a new perspective on your problems.
9. Naps can make you more productive
Nobody works well when they're tired. Napping helps you get more done when you wake up!
10. They can act as a break from life
Who doesn't wish they could put a pause on reality from time to time? Dreams are so often better than real life, so naps are a good way to step back from life for a short time.
