Listening to your brain and body?

In the afternoon, your brain will try to get you to go down.

There is a battle of the brain cells telling you one thing and you getting your brain cells to do another.

Of course, chowing down that huge bowl of pasta or pizza may give you the signal to fuzz out and lie down.

In our hectic, busy, everyday life, our mind has got to keep us going so we can go-go-go and do-do-do.  So it might make sense to do it with a clearer mind after all.

Overall, a loss of sleep can harm you since you can get in a foul mood, your logical reasoning can slow, and your attention can drift.

NASA found pilots performed better when they took a short afternoon siesta.

Napping On the Job

While it may be hard to convince your boss, napping on the job or napping during the day may help.
