A Small Step: National Nap Hour
Today's action is simple: take a 10-minute nap.
That's it. Just 10 minutes. Sunday nap.
How to nap effectively:
Time it: Set alarm for 10-20 minutes. Longer risks grogginess.
Dark + quiet: Eye mask, earplugs, or just close the door.
Comfortable position: Lying down ideal, but leaning back works.
Don't stress about sleeping: Just closing eyes and resting counts. You don't have to actually fall asleep.
Note how you feel after: Usually: refreshed, clearer, more energized.
"But I can't nap":
You might think you can't nap. Try anyway. Even 10 minutes of closed eyes, no screens, resting—not sleeping—provides benefit.
Your body doesn't always need unconsciousness. It needs pause.
Your assignment:
Today between 1-4pm, find 10 minutes. Set a timer. Close your eyes. Rest.
That's all. Just 10 minutes. Start there.
