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.

- Mood improvement
- Increased alertness and learning

- Better heart health and overall health
