How to Take a Successful Nap

Believe it or not, there are ways to enhance your nap taking. If you are taking the time to take a nap, then you might as well get the most out of your time and wake up feeling refreshed! You may want to ditch the afternoon caffeine intake and take a nap instead! Following these tips from Eldon Furniture to get the most out of your nap!


It's OKAY to Take a Nap! 

One of the biggest things to overcome is telling yourself that it is OKAY to take a nap! If you lay down feeling guilty for taking the time to take a nap, you will not get a restful nap. Instead, tell yourself that by taking a nap you will wake up feeling refreshed which will give you the energy to be more productive and creative.

Shorter is Typically Better 

Research shows that a napping for 20-30 minutes is best. This will reset your system and increase your motor performance. Often called a "power nap" this is a very effective technique for a successful nap that will not leave you feeling groggy. Many say, "I nap for hours! 20 minutes won't do anything for me!" BUT don't knock it until you try it!

Drink Tea or Coffee Before 

This might sound strange but some say if you are feeling really tired, having a cup of coffee or tea right before your nap is a great way to increase your energy. The science behind this is it takes about 20-30 min for caffeine to kick in. If you combine a caffeine intake with a 20-minute power nap, you should wake up feeling refreshed!

Find a GREAT Napping Spot! 

Just like you want you to be comfy when you lay down to sleep at night, you should choose a comfy spot to take a nap too. This will be different for some but it's all in what works best for you. Some like to take a nap on their comfy sectional, others like to take a nap in their bed for ultimate comfort. If you are planning to take a nap on your couch, be sure you have a comfy pillow and throw for ultimate relaxation.



There you have it, a few tips for taking a successful nap! You shouldn't feel bad about taking a nap during the day and in most cases, you will wake up and be more productive than if you fight the urge to take a nap.
