When their children were young, they benefited from spending extra time with their daddy, were willing to take naps beyond the age that most children stop, and seemed less cranky than others. Once the children went to sleep in the evening, Anne and Brien enjoyed many productive hours to themselves. For more than 25 years, Brien has come home from his medical practice for lunch and a fifty-minute nap with Anne. Our culture doesn't give permission for people to follow good sense. Instead, we push on even though we are tired.
Work is better when there's the promise of being able to drop out for a while.
Plus, it's a delight to have this cozy time with someone you love. Beyond contributing to lives that are less cranky, and more productive, more refreshed, cozy, and loving, here is how napping can help create a positive future. Imagine viewing the Earth from outer space. Like termites on speed, we are devouring the planet. Such benefits this would bring us.
