It's too bad the Spanish concept of the siesta never caught on in the U.S.A. We might all be a lot better off.
OrganizedWisdom's sleep advisor, Michael Breus, Ph.D., author of Beauty Sleep, tells us that napping offers all of the wonderful benefits of a good night's sleep. So if you can't always get a decent snooze, a nap can help give your body a mini reboot.
If you feel like you can't nap because you wake up feeling groggy and disoriented, guess what? You're doing it wrong!
Here are Dr. Breus's 10 steps to a perfect power nap. You'll learn how to give it a try today (right at your desk), and see if your brain and body work a little better 20 minutes later!
Also, be sure to check out our questions and answers with Dr. Breus about sleep disorders and insomnia. It's all part of OrganizedWisdom Expert Answers series where we seek out professional advice to address the most highly searched real-life FAQs!


With a nap, you may just generate more energy to do your workout. You may also be less likely to do inappropriate snacking if you nap. As the stress leaves your body/mind, you will have more energy to work. It's always good to take a nap and it will refresh you.

And the best way to do that is by starting to drink water with a couple of Stevia packets added. If you need caffeine, you can add a caffeine pill to your water. This should help you get rid of the coffee.

I’m really trying to focus on my weight for multiple reasons, but the biggest one is because I don’t feel attractive. I know that I am, but sometimes it feels like I can’t get a boyfriend because of my weight, and it severely lowers my self-esteem.

For many people, being overweight is associated with being uncomfortable in their own skin. To assist with weight control, every time the urge to snack is felt, first drink a large glass of clear water. This simple act will help you to eat less. Water will soon become one of your best friends. The major reason so many people in America are overweight is because we eat too much for comfort! It does not hurt to treat ourselves with something special once in a while, what is necessary is that we limit our portions and do not overeat! It is also necessary to keep our body properly hydrated, so drink a full glass of water with each meal or snack. Being overweight ******, but after reading a book, I lost 85 pounds! Words can not express how good I feel! This is a comment which I recently received about the book Lose Weight Using Four Easy Steps
