In the distraction age 📲👀 it’s easy to get caught in a cycle of too much stimulus and not enough sleep.
Research consistently shows that even though we can get used to running on empty 😩 and burning the candle at both ends, sleep deprivation means we’re not operating anywhere near our best capacity.
And from a scientific perspective, the only real remedy for a lack of sleep is - wait for it - sleep. 😴
The evidence?
▶️According to the Journal of Sleep Research, even short naps improve alertness, mood, focus, and cognitive performance.
▶️ A study published in Sleep showed that a 10-minute nap measurably improved alertness and cognitive performance for the remainder of the day.
▶️ A German study found that even a 6-minute nap improved performance on a memory recall exercise.
So if you hit the tired wall today, find a quiet corner, close your eyes, have a micro-nap - and top up your sleep tank. 🤗😁🚀
