when you only have 5 minutes to go into sleep mode and your brain knows it, so it lets you pass out instantly despite the cacophony of your kids playing, brain wakes you up exactly 5 minutes later, and you get to go about your day with +10% battery added
All naps are not made equal. The Friday afternoon nap is the most powerful nap ever invented and should be mandatory for everyone. There’s like a 75% chance you wake up and have no idea who or where you are, but I promise it’s the lil boost you need to head into a lovely weekend. 20 mins minimum. Bonus points if you’re still on the clock.
Your body’s circadian rhythm has a natural dip near 1:30pm and taking a 20 min nap right around there has made me feel so much more energized for the rest of the day. It feels like a hack.
bc it’s what I originally wanted when I first went to college at 17 but I was scared to make writing my job and got a B.S. in Nutrition instead lol Now the goal is an eventual PhD in Victorian Literature but I’m just happy to have made it through this part at 32! Stacked is everything I read in my English courses—barely pictured are the 5 stuffed accordion folders of other reading materials under my chair haha
