Exam Naps

Hello to all my readers!
Yes, indeed it has been a long time since I have last blogged. My humble apologies, I have chosen to write about something which I have been fascinated by, Power Napping.

As boring as it may sound, power napping has proven to be quite successful and I can vouch for it as a trialed and tested testimony. With exams lingering in the air, I haven’t managed to get much sleep or as much as I regularly do. This has resulted in me being really tired and lacking productivity as a further result. So after realizing this was an epic problem, I decided to do some research and thus came across power napping.
Power napping often has a negative perception about it. It is often assumed that it will not work for people so they chose to ignore the great potentials which it
contains.

So how does it work you ask?

Well, Power napping is a short nap, of 20-30 minutes. It is imperative that one does not sleep beyond that else disaster could be guaranteed. To ensure this I highly recommend that you get someone to wake you up or set an alarm that will.

•At first you will find it difficult to wake up and might even feel drowsy for the first 5 minutes however, a good shower or rinse of the face can change this phase faster. You will be amazed by the results at how fresh you feel as well as your mind.

•Some things to remember when trying this out..

•You may not fall asleep like when you are deep sleeping, it takes practice to eventually fall asleep. This however does not matter, keep your eyes closed and try to encourage deep breathing.

•Try power napping in a bed and make the room as dark as possible, else wear a blindfold to simulate the darkness.
•Avoid caffeine. It will keep you up.


I highly recommend this to the youth studying during exams; it will help and will result in productivity. As the cliché adverts would say, “Go on try it, if it worked for me, it will work for you”.
