We live in a hectic world. We are so constantly on the go, we steal time from sleep just so we can get more done. Well, here we go, a siesta contest. Folks got 20 minutes to take a nap. Some did not fall asleep. But one guy managed to sleep for 17 minutes. Not only falling asleep in 3 minutes, but he was also recorded snoring at 70 decibels. My mother snored all the time, wonder what her level would be at.
But a couple of Americans read about the contest online and showed up to win second and third place. (Read the article here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39816469/ns/world_news-weird_news/ )
I have read many articles about sleep. Probably because I lack in good quality sleep all the time. Such is life. However, to increase mental sharpness or acuity a person would benefit from a 20 minute nap. Anything longer and you risk waking up more tired than when you fell asleep. But who has 20 minutes to stop mid day and take a nap. I’m thinking that maybe I should schedule that time in a couple times a week. Laundry can wait can it not? Yes, it can.
