NAPPING
The ability to drift off into a restorative nap, even under trying conditions, is characteristic of some famous men of action. Churchill was known to nap every afternoon no matter what else was going on; John F. Kennedy was also a confirmed nap-per. In fact, during the height of the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, Kennedy refused to stay awake any longer after several days of working nonstop, and instead insisted on getting a full night’s sleep. This was surely a very wise decision.
If you feel tired during the day, it’s certainly healthier to take a nap than to drink a double espresso-indeed, the afternoon siesta is basic to daily routine in a large part of the world. If you like to take naps, however, there are several things to keep in mind.
First, be aware of the difference between deciding to take a nap and simply having sleep suddenly descend upon you whether you want it or not. If the latter situation occurs, particularly if it does so frequently, you may be suffering from one of the clinical sleep disorders discussed on this site. In Ayurveda, the notion of intention is a fundamental part of any action. If intention is not present, the benefits of napping (or anything else) are nullified.
Second, keep your naps under thirty minutes in length. If you sleep longer than that, you’ll enter the delta phase of deep sleep, from which awakening, is most difficult.
