Being an adult can be difficult sometimes, and is even more exhausting if you work a full-time job or a college student. Naps are a quick way to feel better immediately and give you a little extra boost for you to finish out your day.

1. Boost Alertness

Even a ten-minute nap can help with surviving the work day because the brain can finally rest.

2. To Diminish Stress

A quick cat nap can make you feel refreshed, and ready to take on the world.

3. Boost Creativity

If you are experiencing trouble brainstorming new ideas, take a nap instead.

4. Boost Productivity

Before cramming in all your homework, take a quick nap. This way you can get everything done in the correct mindset.

5. Boost Your Mood

Instead of eating a Snickers bar or being a grouch, take a nap instead. You will wake up with a better mood, and more positive mindset.

6. Help Your Metabolism

You can actually lose weight while sleeping because your metabolism is higher than usual. So instead of counting calories take a nap instead.

7. Increase Memory and Learning

A slightly longer nap can help fatigue and put you back on track to acing all your assignments.


8. Prevent Burnout

Having a busy life can take a large toll on you. A nap can prevent you from exhaustion and crashing due to the lack of energy.

9. It Will Help Your Health

Napping actually helps with both mental and physical health. So napping is a great way to keep your body and mind happy!

10. Less Caffeine Intake

Instead of spending three to four dollars on a cup of coffee, you can take a thirty-minute nap. This helps people avoid developing a caffeine addiction, and other health problems associated with drinking too many energy drinks or coffee.

So now that you know these ten reasons you don't need to make up excuses to take that well needed nap. So feel free to sleep away!

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us.
