(SPM Wire) Americans are noto-
riously sleep-deprived, which can
have unpleasant and even danger-
ous effects. And while a nap can al-
leviate fatigue, increase alertness
and improve mood, for years nap-
ping was considered to be a pastime
more appropriate for little children
and the sick than healthy adults.
But the tides are changing. Nation-
al Sleep Foundation encourages
napping, citing improvements in
alertness, performance and mood
as benefits. So here are a few tips
on getting the most out of your day-
time snooze:
Find a comfortable spot. A bed is
the best, but is not always available.
If napping in a chair or on a couch,
make sure your neck is well-sup-
ported to avoid sore muscles.
Use a sleep mask and earplugs.
Sometimes disconnecting from
your surroundings can be difficult,
even when you're tired. Cutting out
noise and light can help.
Use a nap as a caffeine substitute.
If you find yourself reaching for cof-
fee because you can't stay awake,
consider taking a nap instead. Close
your eyes and get some shut-eye --
it will help relieve tiredness instead
of postponing it until the caffeine
wears off.
But remember to keep your naps to
a maximum of 20 to 30 minutes, lest
they interfere with a much-needed
good night's rest!
Go ahead - Take a nap!
