The Spanish call it ‘siesta’ -a short nap taken during the early afternoon. Sleeping the hot afternoon away after a full meal at noon may sound like overindulgence for some people -but it’s tradition for some countries, especially ones with a tropical, warm weather.

Today, the modern equivalent of siesta is ‘power napping’. This is especially beneficial to office workers who are typing away in their desks for more than 8 hours a day.

Studies show that a 20-minute or less power nap is a way to refresh you and give you a boost of energy to face another half-day of intense work.

The benefits of a power nap includes:

• Lesser stress
• Mood improvement
• Increased alertness and learning
• Increased productivity and creativity
• Better heart health and overall health
