Some might feel guilty about taking a nap during work hours. This might describe you. But don’t feel guilty about needing to rest. You will feel ready to attack your afternoon work tasks. Most workers feel exhausted after eating a huge lunch. Instead, you will be ready and raring to go. Those who don’t work in a place where taking a nap is an easy affair, try taking a quick doze during a part of your lunch break.
Research states that taking short naps are best. Some might start by taking longer naps during the days, which leaves them a lot more groggy than when they started. But scientists have even showed that these longer naps have some benefit once the grogginess wears off. Set an alarm and wake up right when it goes off. Sleeping for longer periods of time can mess with your sleep in the evening.
