Sorry to hear about your Mom! Hi Chris - Yeah, I liked that one ;). I never thought of it that way - moving through guilt from childhood - but that's exactly what it is. Hi Walter - I agree, you are never going to drift off to sleep if your mind is spinning. Being still for while is an excellent rest for your body.

It's better to be at peace with the world for just a while, letting go of everything and let our bodies get that short yet peaceful necessity of life. :-) It’s hard to take a nap when your mind is clogged with many things.

Before that though, taking a nap in the middle of the day would have seemed a little strange to me. Now it's one of my favorite pleasures. Hi Dani - Oh yes, a jet lag nap is just what the doctor ordered. I know you are not supposed to, because you need to get back on your regular sleep schedule, but it just feels so good!!

I've never been a very big fan of napping because I've never been very good at it. Your advice sounds great and I'm going to give it a go. I might need it today with the jet lag I feel coming on after my return from England! I really needed a post like this.

Me? Need a nap - no way! Not anymore! Now...if I can, and I feel the urge to close my eyes, I do just that. The sofa or the bed are my favorite places - and having the sun stream in - ahhh, I couldn't agree more on how good this feels. And the truth is - after it's over, I'm refreshed! So - maybe having these at work would make us all more productive! .-= Lance´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JungleOfLife/~3/qG__ERMOw44/" rel="nofollow">Sunday Thought For The Day</a> =-. Hi Amanda,
I used to never take naps. Me? Need a nap – no way!

Not anymore! Now…if I can, and I feel the urge to close my eyes, I do just that. The sofa or the bed are my favorite places – and having the sun stream in – ahhh, I couldn’t agree more on how good this feels.

And the truth is – after it’s over, I’m refreshed! So – maybe having these at work would make us all more productive!
