If you want to embrace the habit of napping - as many cultures worldwide do - consider the following:
1. Accept napping as a positive thing. Remind yourself frequently that napping can make a

2. Do not fight the body's desire to nap. This will result in unpleasant or unproductive naps.
3. Take naps when you can. If your schedule does not permit a nap every day,
consider taking productive naps as a passenger in cars, trains and airplanes.
4. Consider time and duration. Napping for too long, too often or at the wrong
time of day can be counterproductive. See what length and schedule works best
for you.
5. Napping can mean just taking a break. Lying on a hammock or just staring into space is the
essence of rest - it is not doing that refreshes you in body
and mind.
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL LIFE AND EXPERIENCE EXTRAORDINARY HEALTH
