Missing that hour of sleep from yesterday?

No worries, today is National Nap Day. No, we don’t get a day off, but we can adjust with a quick afternoon snooze.

According to the Mayo Clinic, a quick nap of 10-20 minutes before three in the afternoon can restore your sleep deprived body. In fact, a nap can help quicken your reaction time, improve your memory, and crush your crankiness.

If you think you need more than a nap can give you, drink a coffee or caffeinated drink before your nap so it has time to flow through your system and do it’s magic. The juice will hit right as you are waking up.

So take that nap. Find a quiet place for a few minutes and relax. You, and probably everyone around you, will feel better for it.
