 Hi, this is George and I want to share a practice that I do every day that really helps me feel energized throughout my working day, or at least being able to be more clear and focused. And that practice is to take a 12-minute nap. I want to give you a couple of pointers about it. One is that a 12-minute nap is nice because I don't sleep long enough where I start to feel groggy. Notice that if I try to sleep at least for 20, 25, 30, 45 minutes even, I will feel groggy for the rest of the day and I can't work. But somehow, 12 minutes allows me to feel refreshed without feeling groggy. And the key is that I don't even need to fall asleep during those 12 minutes, but somehow laying down and enjoying the couch is where I nap really makes a difference in helping me feel like a new person. And there's a lot of science that has been coming out recently about sleep and napping and how important it is for the brain. So the nap is not even for the body to rest, unless you do a lot of physical labor during the day. But for most of us, we're doing kind of more mental labor. And so the nap is really for the brain to feel refreshed again because when you are not consciously working, when you close your eyes and allow yourself to kind of drift, your brain is doing its magic of integrating what you've been reading, seeing, watching, working on throughout the day and giving you new associations, new connections. And so if you nap consistently, I think you'll actually find that you're also more creative. And there's Buddy, by the way. You're also more creative in your work. And so let me give you a couple of keys to allow this practice to, I'll share with you what works for me and I invite you to try it and see if it helps you as well. So number one is you've got to decide where you nap, where and when you nap, okay? Secondly, you've got to use a timer so that you don't sleep too long. And third is to not worry about falling asleep. So one is I basically work from home. So we have an office where I work and then there's a living room where the couch is and I put a blanket and a pillow and it's always there. The blanket and pillow is always there. And so I take two naps a day. I take one in the morning after breakfast and then I take the second one after lunch. So the way my schedule works is that I do some work before breakfast so I get some things done. And then after I eat breakfast I usually feel a little bit of low, even though I eat a healthy breakfast I still feel a little bit of low maybe because I'm eating breakfast relatively quickly. I don't want to spend a lot of time doing it. So I then take a nap and my nap just makes me feel refreshed again and again. I don't have to fall asleep. I just let my brain drift and I feel refreshed and I'm able to work throughout the rest of the morning until lunch. And then lunch, I eat lunch and then I take a nap, 12 minutes again and I feel refreshed the rest of the afternoon until dinner time. And then for dinner time I actually eat very, very slowly. We're usually watching some kind of show we enjoy or some kind of movie or show on Netflix or something like that. So I really just take my time eating dinner. I just savor every bite. I eat extremely slowly. It takes me like an hour to eat a portion of food, an hour and a half sometimes. And so I think when I eat really slowly, I don't tend to feel sluggish afterwards and that's maybe a key there too. So I don't nap after dinner. So I just, morning and after breakfast, after lunch. And then the second key is to have a timer. I use my phone. There's a timer app on my phone that comes with it. I just set it on 13 minutes. I actually don't set it 12 minutes. I set it 13 minutes, but it takes me about a minute to kind of settle into the couch. And then the final key is you don't have to fall asleep. Just try to enjoy the experience of the pillow and enjoy being covered by your couch or the bed or the floor. And don't worry about falling asleep. Just let your brain drift, okay? So I invite you to try that. See how it works for you. And as always, I'm open to your questions and your comments. Be well.
