Who else cold use a little less stress?!? 🙋🏽♂️Today, our Stress-less Series focuses on a good old fashioned nap.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, that wonderful short period of sleep, usually taken during the day is an effective way to relax and recharge. Naps lasting 10 to 20 minutes are considered the ideal length. They are sometimes referred to as “power naps” because they provide recovery benefits without leaving the napper feeling sleepy afterward.
Naps can relieve tension, allow us to relax and is a great way to de-stress from worries. It's no wonder that vacation pictures often show vacationers napping in the afternoon on hammocks!
While napping may not be for everyone, we have certainly seen its benefits in our clients and friends. We would love to know if you take a power nap.
At Body Paradox, we work out with individuals of all age groups and fitness levels - we know you can bring the weight of the world to a workout - tell us how we can help you.
