Stressed? Power Nap!
According to this article, a stress buster is taking a nap. So next time you are stressed, breath and take a nap.
- Take a power nap. If you feel tired and unable to concentrate, a 15- or 20-minute nap works wonders. First, elevate your feet. This will allow blood to more readily flow to your brain, increasing the oxygen levels you need to feel well rested and alert. Second, set a "low-tech alarm clock." Hold a pen or a set of keys in one hand, keeping the arm holding the object slightly raised (but obviously comfortable). When your body reaches a complete state of relaxation, your grip on the object will release, causing it to fall to the floor and startle you awake. "These few minutes (simulate) a long, luxurious sleep," says Staver. "
