100HappyWords_37_Nap

I’ve not always been a napper.

For much of my life I’ve been a caffeinator – pushing through mid-afternoon slumps with a little help from my stimulant friend.

I only discovered the power of the nap quite recently – after an extended, stressful period left my body exhausted. I set about napping daily until my body’s balance restored.

I worked out that my optimal nap time is 90 minutes and it’s best practised siesta-style, after lunch.

My favourite nap spot is my parents’ daybed – a beautiful piece of mid-20^th-Century furniture that affirms the nap’s role in everyday life.

All hail the nap.
