If you can spare 20 minutes in the middle of your day, I can show you how to dramatically increase your energy and sense of well-being.
Did I mention that it is perfectly suited to working from home?
Take a 20-minute nap.
Personally, I eat lunch, drink a cup of coffee, and then take a 20-minute nap. When the coffee kicks in, it wakes me up naturally. I splash water on my face and go back to work, feeling just as refreshed and energized as I do waking up in the morning.
The duration of your nap is important; if you sleep longer, you risk waking up groggy and grumpy. In my comment below, I’ll share some tips from the Mayo Clinic about this.
When I was 6 or 7 growing up in India, my dad taught me to nap. He told me to go lie down and start counting sheep. These days, I have trouble getting to ten before I fall asleep.
One last point: my wife noticed that during the past months, my napping habit has become even more regular. I’m guessing that’s because given the stress we are all under, my daily nap serves as a magical antidote.
