Integrate naps into your daily life in 5 days: a practical guide - DAY 2
D2 - Find the ideal moment
The timing of your flash nap is decisive for a successful experience and full benefit of the benefits of the nap. Ideally, choose a time slot between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. , when afternoon fatigue begins to set in. Make sure you have a 10 to 20 minute break available in your schedule. Block out this time each day for your flash nap and make it non-negotiable.
For this second session, here are our tips:
- Don't focus on your experience yesterday. Every day is different.
- Carefully recreate the favorable conditions (time, place, telephone switched off, alarm set) and do not hesitate to adjust, if you feel the need, the duration of your flash nap.
- Prioritize relaxing your entire body.
- Strive to complete the duration you have chosen. This is your moment. It is precious and remember that it is very small! 10 minutes is time for a coffee break.
- After this second nap, try to compare your first two sessions. Did you feel a difference? Maybe fewer thoughts, more relaxation in the body?
See you tomorrow for the 3rd session!
Did you know ?
More than 88% of mammals have polyphasic sleep , meaning they sleep several times during the day. This has also been the case for humans for a very long time. In fact, it is since the industrial revolution and in particular the arrival of artificial lighting in homes that we have moved into a unique time of rest ! But if we think about it carefully, with a good night's sleep of 8 hours, we are still asking our body to last 16 hours straight without a break!
All our advice for integrating the benefits of a nap into your daily life:
Day 1 - Start of the flash nap adventure
Day 2 – Finding the perfect timing for your flash nap
Day 3 – Create an ideal cocoon for your flash nap
Day 4 - Master breathing and relaxation for an optimal nap
