"A lot of times, I don't go in with the intention of taking a nap, but instead to lay down and rest. Then I end up drifting off and wake up feeling energized..." said King. Her experience highlights how micro-napping can refresh our day without prior intent.
"We know it's an easy, helpful way to quickly boost your alertness, your concentration, your productivity, your creativity and your mood. It's a royal flush," said sleep expert James Maas. This underscores the various cognitive benefits of power naps.
"I'm definitely more creative after napping," King shares. This statement emphasizes how a brief nap can lead to enhanced creativity, as supported by research on napping.
Maas notes, "In a typical night, people go through several 90-minute sleep cycles... Daytime sleep follows the same cycle, which is why Maas doesn't recommend hourlong naps..." This explains the critical nature of nap duration.
