Healthy Naps - washingtonpost.com

Healthy Naps - washingtonpost.com

An afternoon nap? Sounds as if it might be good for you.

This article is funny, too:

"In our dreams, the new Democratic majority in Congress quickly introduced the Freedom Of Restorational Time for Yawning, Whittling, Inclining, Nesting, Knitting and Sleeping (FORTY WINKS) Act, mandating thirty minutes of "quiet time" for every worker...

Republicans countered with the Solitude Investment and Entrepreneurial Sleep Trading Account (SIESTA). Trial lawyers soon consolidated into a class action the lawsuits of thousands of widows whose husbands had not been permitted to nap at work. Big Pharma began marketing a 30-minute snooze pill, which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insisted be covered under Medicare Part D..."

Whether it's FORTY WINKS or SIESTA, apparently it's something to be considered (taken along with that dark chocolate and red wine from my previous posting?).
