I’m super drowsy even though I had some caffeine. I’m drinking lots of water and eating healthy foods, but is there anything else I can do in the meantime?
How do you make yourself feel better after a poor night of sleep?
Edit: It went well! The director even said, “we should just hire you now!” However, I have one more panel interview. Time for a nap.
Just curious, how do you guys manage to do that? It can take me up to 2 hours just to fall asleep, unless I just woke up in which case I still shouldn’t do that because few extra minutes of sleep just totally destroy me for the day.
20 minute Power Nap = lay down, close my eyes, think of nothing for 20 minutes.
It usually takes me an hour + to fall asleep but I still appreciate getting a few minutes to shut down in the middle of a tiring day.
You guys should try having kids. You’ll learn to fall asleep within moments.
Miracle cure, I tell ya.
Pity about the side effects, though…
Just close your eyes and let your mind wander. Even if you don’t fall asleep you get a large percentage of the benefits. The 20 minutes is because that’s about the best timespan for the body to rest without taking into a deeper slumber that’s hard to wake up from
You’re not actually going to sleep, you’re “resting” for 20 minutes. It still had a massive impact on your energy level and well being. Anything past that and you run into the danger zone of sleeping too long and waking up mid sleep-cycle and feeling worse.
I never use to be able to nap until I started smoking weed.
Do you smoke before the nap? Or just the active use seems to help you nap in general?
Just the active use in general. I do sometimes have trouble falling asleep but its usually allergy related or my cat won’t shut up lol
I personally used meditation techniques to fall asleep faster until I taught my brain and myself the right routine. Don’t confuse your brain, Bed=sleep and keep a schedule. From there power naps are easy.
