Work productivity, time management, organization, tools and tips

This is the last in a series of three posts about power napping.

Why do we drive ourselves to the point of exhaustion?  That’s a question that’s bothered me for a long while.  We often insist that a little sleep time will disrupt our days, will take away from productivity.  Apparently, our insistence was in the wrong direction.

It’s a good idea to wind down for a little while and rest for about a half hour during the day; it boosts productivity. 

You must sleep sometime between lunch and dinner…Don’t think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the day. That’s a foolish notion held by people who have no imaginations. You will be able to accomplish more. You get two days in one — well, at least one and a half, I’m sure. –Winston Churchill 

That’s not only good advice from a person of history; it has backing from the Reasearchers at the Salk Institute at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and from NASA. 

You’re right.  In this series I didn’t tell how to nap at work.  You’ll have to visit Spine-Health.com Blog, How to Power Nap at Work, for the rest of the story.
