Delighted and amazed to see it's widely shared!!

I haven't yet found a way to nap when I'm at home, since my children have long since “grown out” of wanting a daytime nap, and are on the go wanting attention all afternoon. Yay for Sunday afternoons when we can take turns to look after the children while the other parent has some “Me time” (usually involving a pillow).

In those days, I came home from summer school, lay flat on the cool floor, then snoozed as soon as I started to read the paper. I like a late morning nap sometimes, too, when I'm off. Followed by another one in the afternoon. And Sunday naps are the best and needed.

It's amazing how much better the world looks after a pray and a bit of time out.

I really think I would flag in an office, or maybe keep running on coffee.
Michael Hyatt who does work in an office naps in a zero-gravity chair.

I always feel better for it.

But it's funny reading what Mary wrote. I think there may be something in switching the brain off when it gets a little overloaded.
Things often seem better in the cold light of day and perhaps when things get a little too frenetic or stressed for me in the daytime, I should simply sit down, shut my eyes, block the world and the worries out and have a cat nap!

warm wishes
