In the first parts of this series, we talked about why using and recognizing our natural tendencies as sleep-deprived humans can help us get more sleep, feel better, and get more done. Mostly, it’s through the use of naps, specifically and purposefully optimized and placed at a point in our day that provide us the benefits of the different sleep cycles. Depending on what we need, or have going on in our lives, that means we can use naps to give us more productivity, a quick motivational or focus-booster, and even let us “have two days in one,” as one Winston Churchill was known to have said regarding naps!
In this post, we’ll talk about the last steps needed to successfully implement a sleep schedule that allows for naps, and we’ll look at what ways can help us get to sleep, stay asleep, and feel better after we awake.
