Did you know that if your napping, it’s better to sleep either 20 to 30 minutes or a full 90 minutes? That’s because 90 minutes allows you to have a full sleep cycle!

REM sleep is almost always associated with the sleep cycle when we are dreaming and it helps our brains unify the memories we form each day. All of our experiences are also the substance of our dreams.

I do wish the content of my dreams were no t so often unexplainable and confusing.

Crazy Fact (!) The human brain pulsates! The brain has cycles of pulsing with the respiratory system and the heart. Also, the neurons in our brain are firing trillions of times per second! No wonder sleep is literally a workout!

So next time that midday slump creeps in (you know the one), don’t fight it—use it. A quick nap isn’t giving up, it’s playing smart. Think of it as your secret travel weapon: a reset button that helps you shake off the grogginess and show up refreshed, focused, and ready for whatever adventure comes next.
