Einstein took frequent, short naps throughout the day to help him think clearly. That’s all I needed to know to shift my attitude about napping.
However, if you need more than that to justify your existing (or soon-to-exist) napping habit, then this infographic from MindBodyGreen is for you. It’s got nap types, other famous nappers, and some data on exactly how long you should nap to come up with your version of the Theory of Relativity.
Thanks to Lynn Hasselberger for posting this over on Elephant Journal. She got me thinking about my own unexamined assumptions about napping, laziness, and productivity.
Do you nap? What’s the most incredible thing you’ve ever accomplished or created post-nap? Please share in the comments below.
