Naps are Good
I read a newly released study today that found that a 30 minute nap three times a week reduces the chance of a heart attack by 37%. I just want to go on public record as supporting nap time.
It all comes back to circadian rhythm. I'm good for nothing in the afternoon. I think 90% of my creativity and productivity happens before noon! Some afternoons I feel like a computer that opens more and more programs so the processor slows down and eventually all the programs say "not responding."
A ten-minute nap is like restarting my computer. It reenergizes me physically and mentally. What I'm trying to say is this: I'm pro-naps.
For what it's worth, Jesus took a nap during a storm. That is the basis of my nap theology.

I too am an avid support of naps. However my naps always seem to turn into two hour naps, even if I set my alarm :(
that's a great idea...i think I'll take one on my drive home today! =)
Im all about naps. Lets see if I can talk my pastor into invoking it during staff meeting this week. :)
My Pastor used to always tell me, "sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is lay down and take a nap..."
The older I get the more spiritual I want to be in the afternoons!
