Power Naps: Your Sleep Counts! by Lorenzo IzosI have been power napping for many years it has truly changed my life for the better. It took me awhile to get it down right but once I got there my energy and productivity is amazing! I have been power napping for many years it has truly changed my life for the better. It took me awhile to get it down right but once I got there my energy and productivity is amazing! The Ultimate Power Nap for Rapid Rest and Renewal by Carol GinandesCrown House PublishingWe are biologically programmed for a sleep renewal cycle that includes nighttime rest as well as a period of daytime sleep. It is this daytime sleep requirement that we chronically ignore in the name of more activity and presumed productivity. But increasingly, research clearly reveals that the lack of a daytime sleep segment is detrimental, resulting in higher incidence of accidents, lowered productivity, slowed reaction time, and irritability. On the other hand, studies of planned napping indicate significant benefits such as enhanced memory, greater creativity, heightened efficiency and systemic protection against a wide range of health risks (such as weight gain, diabetes, cardiac events, and mood disturbances). But even those who understand these risks and benefits may be unsure about how to design and practice a brief but replenishing power nap. The Ultimate Power Nap program provides a comprehensive program for planned, restorative napping. This 2-CD set provides even the most inexperienced napper with powerful skills for mental and physical renewal. The first CD in this program introduces the listener to the 'art and science of power napping', through a guided self-analysis of personal sleep cycle deficits, then on to how to design an effective power nap. From there, a first practice segment uses the author s powerful guided visualizations and hypnotic suggestions to teach the listener how to shift effortlessly into deeper states of physical and mental ease in almost any environment. The second CD contains the actual power nap program and is full of hypnotic suggestions targeting mind/body renewal. It is designed to be used over and over and will leave the listener refreshed, alert and without grogginess. Like immersive language studies, practice and repetition with the Ultimate Power Nap training program yields ease and fluency with this new skill set. This program will benefit those in a wide variety of vocational settings including the service professions, corporate environments, civil servants, manual workers, teachers and students, the arts, and a host of other professions. Personal applications are unlimited and may be of particular help to those with health issues or those seeking to foster heightened well-being.

The session topics include these themes: guided imagery, tension/relaxation, and mantra meditation. In fact, medical research has proven that short naps, not exceeding 30-40 minutes, are the ideal length naps in terms of providing feelings of refreshment and alertness to the user, while avoiding the groggy feelings often associated with longer naps. Furthermore, study subjects performed better on cognitive tests after taking short naps (compared with a control group).The United States Air Force Flight Surgeon's guide provides information about helpful use of naps on long airborne missions in order to maintain awareness, alertness and mission effectiveness. No practice is required and the user will find him or herself successful the first time the relaxation sessions are used. In addition, Power Nap Kit also includes a 40-page book packed with health tips, advice from sleep experts and other information useful for those having trouble with sleep issues.

Journey into Sleep: Hypnosis for Power Naps and Deep Rest by Sheri MenelliWhite Heart Publishing, IncPeaceful Moments: v. 1: Four Power Naps Hypnosis Sessionsby Roger Innes ElliottUncommon Knowledge LtdThis book contains four deep relaxation sessions for refreshing breaks from busy schedules. A short burst of deep hypnotic audio relaxation can do so much to improve your day, you'll: Increase Your Energy Levels and Motivation; Boost Your Creativity; Improve Your Performance with Power Naps at Work; Improve Your Emotional Balance; Increase Your Patience and Frustration Tolerance; Feel More in Control; and Improve Your Memory and Learning...a refreshing breeze through your head...But how does it do all this? You know how it feels when you wake up after a good night's sleep, and almost anything seems possible? Problems have melted away, stress has disappeared, and you feel like you can tackle anything! Deep hypnotic relaxation audio session have the same effect. You can take quarter of an hour out of a busy day and come back feeling refreshed, relaxed, creative and full of energy. How can 15 minutes make so much difference? When you relax deeply, your brain starts to work differently. Rather than the 'concentration' mode, (mostly left brain), you go into 'imaginative' mode (mainly right brain). This is the same as when you sleep at night. Your brain has a natural rhythm that requires about 15 minutes of right-brain activity every 1-1/2 to 2 hours. This happens naturally, unless you are too stressed, have too much to do, or have had too much caffeine! An everyday example of this is when you give up trying to fix something, or stop thinking about something because it's too worrisome. You go away, take a break, and just when you're thinking about something else, Pop! The answer pops into your mind. That's 'unconscious thinking', as described by Guy Claxton in "Hare Brain, Tortoise Mind". |
