Do you like to take a nap when you can?

Taking a nap can be good for you
Grabbing a little shuteye in the middle of the day could help make you a better worker. But timing is everything.

Do you like to take a nap when you can?


>> Yes, it makes me feel refreshed
>> No, it makes me groggy
>> I'd like to, but then I can't sleep at night
>> Other

While your boss may not appreciate the snoring in the office, the truth is that well-timed sleep actually boosts your effectiveness as a worker. "A brief mid-day nap can reduce levels of fatigue, improve reaction time, promote learning, and improve coordination," says Michael A. Grandner, Ph.D., instructor and a member of the Center for Sleep and Circadian Neurobiology at the University of Pennsylvania.

There is, however, a right and wrong way to grab some quick shuteye. Try to sleep as close to the middle of the day as possible, preferably 8 hours after you wake up, says Grandner, or else it will be more difficult to go to bed at night. Ideally your snooze should be 20 to 30 minutes--it's best for regulating brain functions and keeping you from feeling like you've been hit by a truck when waking up from deeper sleep.

Bull run festival, Pamplona, Spain

Famous bull run festival begins in Pamplona, Spain
Dozens of people are injured each year in the running of the bulls & some get gored.

The fiesta, an uproarious blend of hair-raising daily bull runs and all-night partying, was immortalized in Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises." The event still attracts huge crowds — and headlines of people being injured by the bulls — every year.

Would you consider taking part in Spain's bull run festival?

>> Yes; I have a sense of adventure!
>> No; I don't want to get hurt!
>>  Maybe; I'd probably need some convincing.
>> I'm not sure.
>> No opinion.
