Power Nap or Power Through?
W2W Magazine polled the Editorial Committee to find out who is inclined to grab a power nap during the day and who prefers to power through until bedtime.
I honestly love a good nap. It makes me feel refreshed for the rest of the day; however, it is very rare that I find the time to ever take one.

Napping? That’s a definite yes. The only problem with napping is finding the time to take one – even on weekends. When I wake up from a nap, I am ready to keep going – and that’s more important now than ever, as my responsibilities grow. I recommend factoring a 10-minute snooze into your lunch hour, if possible.

I have never been a napper, not even when I was a kid. I am very much an early-to-bed, early-to-rise person; I need ALL of my eight nightly hours of sleep! I might grab a cat nap if we’re going out for the evening but otherwise, I don’t want to interfere with my beauty sleep (a tired Kirsten is a cranky Kirsten).

Napping – BIG NAY. When I close these peepers, they want to stay closed and quick naps do NOT give me energy. They make me want to cuddle up further into my blanket and snooze all day.

Greater Reading Chamber Alliance
Huge YAY to napping. The key is setting an alarm to allow you to sleep for 20-30 minutes. Anything more than that will leave you groggy + dragging.
