Regardless of our age, if we find we need to take a nap during the day, we do so because our body is telling us that we need to rejuvenate. Not everyone can or wants to nap, but for those who do, they are responding to their body. In today’s society we often try to be as productive during our waking hours as possible, especially if we still work full-time, care for children, a home, etc. And even though constantly being in a productive mode may allow us to accomplish a great deal, it can also lead to exhaustion. We may feel like taking a nap, but are guilty about taking even a few minutes of rest. Wanting to rest does not mean that we are lazy or even that you did not get enough sleep the night before. It is simply our body telling us that we need to reboot and is usually experienced by most during the afternoon. In some countries, taking a nap or siesta in the afternoon is considered a natural part of everyone's day. Napping is not for everyone and can cause more harm than good for some. If you find yourself unable to fall asleep during the day or are too groggy when you awake after a ten-to-thirty minute nap, then it may not be for you so listen to your body and decide what is right for you. And always consult with your primary care physician regarding any issues you may be experiencing with sleep. |
