Relish the benefits of a sharper mind, improved accuracy and perception, quicker motor skills, keener co-ordination and enhanced mood and memory. Getting even the briefest nap is better than nothing. A 2008 study at the University of Düsseldorf showed that the mere onset of sleep may trigger active memory processes that remain effective even if sleep is limited to only a few minutes. And last year, a British study suggested that just knowing a nap was coming was enough to lower blood pressure.
So heed the wake-up call: If you want to be your best all day long, at least plan on napping.
