MY NAP TIME IS CALLING ME

I’ve always been a napper. When I was a child, no one had to coax me to take a nap. A glass of milk and a few graham crackers would put me out in sixty seconds. When my daughter came along, she refused to take a nap with me. She didn’t need it. However, I needed it and to achieve it, I would lie down with her and hold her hand. If I didn’t, and I fell asleep before she did, (I always did) she would immediately be on the run.

Now, I go to bed early and get up early (the cats think 5 am is a reasonable hour) and it isn’t only that I enjoy my nap, I NEED it. A wave of sleepiness seems to come over me around ten in the morning and again at two to two-thirty in the afternoon. (Okay, that’s two naps a day. Deal with it.)

Wherever I am, I’ll fall asleep whether I want to or not. I haven’t stayed awake through a whole church service in years. If it’s my time to go, I’ll sleep through anything—airplane trips, car rides, movies. I even slept through “The Guns of Navarone.”

Moreover, it claims some innocent lives vardenafil online for no mistake of theirs too. It exactly leads to thrash down the male sexual cialis wholesale prices problem. I plop down in my recliner, put up my feet, and become unconscious for about twenty minutes. When I wake up, I’m recharged and ready to face the afternoon.

When I was a child, everyone approved of my little siesta. Adults would smile, “She’s so good to take her nap.”

That changes when you’re all grown up. People seem to disapprove, to think you’re wasting time or being lazy. Not true. A recent scientific study showed that a short nap—they say ten minutes is peak effectiveness. It improves efficiency and increases cognitive efficiency.

So, I was right all along. Now that I’ve imparted this little bit of information, I think I’ll hit the Laz-y-boy for a while. I’ll do more than ten minutes, though. Twenty or thirty is better, depending on how well I slept last night. If I’m in the mood, I might do an hour. Who’s to stop me?
