So you can take a nap the next day because you went too late to sleep this night

because that's when you found time for things that will get you out of the grind that takes up all day

“Getting rid of that expectation to fall asleep can help you fall asleep more easily.” You just blew my mind.

@TheMattmatic 6 лет назад

Studley D. Muffin This is a Big part of Cognitive behavioral therapy for sleep problems. Also realising you don’t need to always sleep 8 hours can reduce the feeling of pressure to fall asleep. Helped me a lot

Fist, I'd like to congratulate you for taking your channel quality seriously. It's notable that you really research about content, and care about teaching, and its edition. Second, the merchandising/sponsored content doesn't seem random, because it's useful and presented in an honest, enthusiastic, connected way. I start watching your videos aiming to improve my communication in English, especially my listening comprehension skill. But now I just enjoy them. Last, but not least, I'm putting some of your tips in practice and really taking lots of advantages on them. Take care and have a good time!

I used to never take naps because I didn't think they'd help until about 4 months ago when I acquired a crazy work/school schedule. Now I takea 20-25min coffee naps everyday after work at 4:00pm and it works amazingly! it even helps get rid of headaches which I love!

I’ve been taking 15-20 minute naps for 20 plus years and 99% of the time I do not doze off but, the benefit of clearing my head and relaxing my body gives me the boost I need to feel less tired until bedtime. Running a Small restaurant for 33 plus years is extremely Stressful and I couldn’t do it with out POWER NAPS.

I do take naps sometimes. I found that a 26 minute nap is the perfect length. All over 30 minutes leads to feeling like you were overrun by a truck. Thought I've read a sientific paper recommending 26 minutes aswell.

@Rodyusa178 6 лет назад

I will try that thanks

@Haeha-zh8xv 6 лет назад

Does a 26 minute powernap mean 26 minutes from the second i lay down, or when i (maybe) fall asleep?

@TheCellCH 6 лет назад

lay down to alarm. Sometimes this means I just lay there, most times I get to powernap :)

@davidisawesome8149 5 лет назад

Approx 15 mins lying down an 10 mins sleeping. 10-20 mins is the sweet spot.

@TheCellCH 3 года назад

@Adam Morley the first few times you probably don't get to really snooze and you'll just close your eyes. But you should fall asleep after some getting used to :)

@sparkymularkey6970 Год назад

I'm always amazed at just how well-rested I feel even after laying in bed and not really even falling asleep, but *almost* falling asleep just before my alarm goes off. It's fascinating to experience first-hand just how much the body actually rests when you let it.

Now that I am older, I can’t wait to get one :) I am so good at taking power naps that I don’t need to put my alarm, my body wakes up alone after 20 minutes.

I would be interested in a series on different types of breaks. The nap being one of them. From shortest to longest: A short step out, coffee break, a nap, a lunch break, an evening break of which sleeping is a part, a weekend, a vacation, a sabbatical, perhaps retirement.

@1967andwaiting 6 лет назад

I recently realized the importance of afternoon nap. My schedule last year was such that I could be home by 3 pm and I would lay down and kind of drift off for about 40 minutes to an hour. Then I would start studying. This year my classes are such that my first class is at 11:30 in the morning and last class is 5:30, this isn't too bad because I use the time in between to study and do revision but by the time i get to my 5:30 class I'm sleepy and exhausted. Spending 30 mins in a quiet corner of the library just drifting off made such a huge difference to my energy during the rest of the day

@kichigan1 4 года назад

I nap every single day. I started it 30 years ago just because it felt good and felt great afterwards. Looking at my non-napper friends from that era, you would tell that something huge called "aging" happened to them, but not so much to me. I do look older that I did three decades ago, but I don't look like a train run over me. :-)

@Kneza99 6 лет назад

I always take a nap after school (about 3 pm), but I have noticed that when I try sleeping in a dark room I wake up feeling like I was hit by a car. So I make sure that the room is quiet but also relatively bright. It does take some getting used to but the light always wakes you at the perfect moment so you feel well rested when you wake up.
