It's free, nontoxic, and has no dangerous side effects. So why do people have to be convinced to nap? Employers want to keep their workers occupied with the business of business. Parents want their children to do homework when they come home from school or play outdoors instead of "sleeping the day away." But as the facts pile up, the case for napping becomes too compelling to dismiss. Science will give you twenty good reasons to nap!

That was brilliant, and nicely presented. Great to see the empirical evidence supporting the nap, debunking the myth that if you nap you won't sleep well at night (another unhelpful story out there), statistics supporting the contribution to the workplace for nappers. And amazingly napping 3 times a week leads to 37% decrease in coronary heart disease. If you can't sleep or you're making mistakes at work this lecture is very important to listen to. Thanks Sara.

Listen to the whole talk including the Q&A. Dr. Mednick's answers to the questions brings out a lot of additional information. This is an excellent supplement to the book. Her work which showed that caffeine decreased performance and her speculation that our perception that it improved it was due to the addictive quality of it may be the motivation to avoid it more.
