Ever wish you could take a nap during the day, when lack of sleep overwhelms you? Yet you feel guilty if you do. Or your Alzheimer’s patient doesn’t remain napping if you try to catch forty winks at the same time?

Today, if someone else watches your patient or they nap, too, you also can take a “power nap” with a clear conscience, according to Yvonne Russell’s post at Home Biz Notes, Happy National Siesta Day. There she lists the benefits of a 10-120 minute nap.

So Happy Napping!!

Maybe you’ll find it so beneficial you’ll squeeze in power naps other days as well.
