Let’s be honest, nothing beats a nap in the middle of the afternoon. Although you might feel guilty about sneaking away for a nap there are plenty of medical studies that can support your decision for a quick midday snooze. Actually the idea of a nap in the afternoon is already very popular in many European cultures. Many American tourists find that it’s hard to get anything done during the afternoon in Italy, Spain or France when all the residents are taking their siesta.One of the reasons why we feel sleepy in the middle of the afternoon is because of our body’s own cycles of rest and activity. If the normal rest cycle is eight hours at night then the body is accustomed repeating that cycle every eight hours. This makes a nap at three o’clock in the afternoon perfect timing. The goal with a nap is not to let it replace sleep but instead just have a complete rest for your body that can provide that restorative recharge. Many people who work in an office think that a nap is impractical. Actually all you need to do to accomplish the benefits of a nap is to simply shut down for 15 to 20 minutes. This can be accomplished by closing the drapes, putting a do not disturb on your phone and just closing your eyes and relaxing. If you can develop the habit of taking this kind of break at the same time every day then it will become much easier for your body to make the adjustment.
Of course, the ideal situation for a nap would be to slip into our own cozy bed. However, the danger there is that you might just find yourself napping into the night. This is especially true if someone has just purchased a new mattress for themselves and can relish in all that comfort. If you’re still sleeping on the same lumpy mattress you’ve had for several years you might not have to worry about drifting off for an extended nap. In fact, you might just have found it difficult to get any good night sleep because of this mattress. If that’s the case then you really need to think about getting a new mattress.
The recommendation is that you should only hang onto a mattress for 5 to 8 years. When was the last time you bought a mattress? If you can’t even remember then obviously you’re in the danger zone of needing to replace that lumpy mattress. Shopping for a mattress means pulling the Goldilocks act. You’ll have to simply go and try out which mattress is not too firm and not too soft but one that is just right. Once you’ve settled on the perfect mattress you’ve got to get rid of that old one. Hiring a professional junk hauler like Junk King Nashville is the perfect option for not only getting rid of that old mattress but also getting rid of a lot of other junk at the same time. You’ll sleep well because you’ll be on a new mattress and your house is clean.
