Naps are great for students, but they also are imperative for parents who want to balance life and work. Personally, I like to stay up a little later at night so I can enjoy some quiet time after the kids go to bed. That makes me tired the next day at work. Several years ago I was searching for direction in my life and decided to invest in a personal coach. I discussed my job dissatisfaction with her and she gave me a tip that had an immediate effect on my life. She asked if I took advantage of the 15 minute breaks offered by my company. I didn’t so she suggested that I sit in my car during that break and shut my eyes. I wondered how much of a difference 15 minutes could make and if I could truly relax enough to even fall asleep in that amount of time. But, I was willing to give it a try. Sure enough, the coach was right. This 15 minutes makes a huge difference in my energy level and attitude. I come back into the building feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the next few hours.
