Naps are good.
Some famous nappers down through
history can’t be wrong:
-Albert Einstein took a
twenty-minute post-lunch nap daily.
Other famous nap-takers include:
-Leonardo da Vinci
-Napoleon Bonaparte
-Winston Churchill
-Thomas Edison
-Ronald Reagan
-John F. Kennedy
-John D. Rockefeller
-P Michael Biggs (who
is he?)
Tip #30 from my new favorite book
is Take a Nap
The book is The Little Book of Talent by Daniel Coyle.
Daniel says … “Napping is good for the learning brain
because it helps strengthen the connections formed during practice and prepare
the brain for the next session.”
Researchers at University of
California, Berkeley, found that napping
for ninety minutes improved memory scores by 10%, while skipping a nap made
them decline by 10%.
“You
need sleep before learning, to prepare your brain, like a dry sponge, to absorb
new information.”

there is a 20% increase in test scores after a nap compared to a 20% decrease
in non-nappers)
