A Good Night’s Sleep and Napping During the Day
Rest your mind and body to promote health and optimize productivity
Why do we need sleep? Have you ever thought about this?
If you are a busy person, you may wonder, how long your sleep has to be to maintain your health.
Those who love sleeping may think, just let me sleep as long as I want. Don’t wake me up until noon.
My mom knows if she takes a long nap would affect her night sleep, so she asks me to wake her up sometimes when I’m at home.
I thought it was funny. Somehow she knew I was more effective than her alarm.
Yes, I can be very creative in waking her up. Making a bait — sweets, late lunch, coffee, or just put our dog on her bed.
How long is napping during the day, okay, right?
All these questions I’ve asked myself many times. I bet you have too.
So I got this audiobook.
Why We Sleep by Matthew P. Walker (Professor at the University of California Berkeley, and Director of the Center for Human Sleep Science) explains a lot to us why we need sleep.
