Naps In The Workplace

Have you ever noticed how tired some kids are in school? Have you noticed that the students can’t focus on their work? Have you noticed that they are up late trying to finish their homework? Well, I have the solution. I think that we should have nap time in school. With naptime, students will be able to function more easily and to a higher standard. As Anton Anderson, a high school teacher from Connecticut said, 20 extra minutes a day isn’t a substitute for 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night, but it does recharge the batteries. If 20 minutes does this much, think about what 40 minutes could do.

People should try to take more naps because naps can contribute to less stressful day. For example, Source #2 states that,” Many famous historical figures have been nappers. American presidents John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton all took frequent naps to help them deal with the pressures of leading a powerful nation”. This proves, that naps are useful when a person is full of tension. Humans should take more naps because naps can turn out to be beneficial to them. In conclusion, naps can help to a more stress-free day.

What do people think of when they first hear the word nap? Everyday sayings such as snatching a nap, being caught napping, snoozing, or stealing forty winks are all beneficial daily activities we need to add to our busy life. If we do, we will be more awake and capable to reach our full potential as an individual. People don’t realize how important a nap can be. Although popular beliefs suggest that naps are a waste of time, naps actually increase productivity by resting the brain.

They also think that only little children should take naps. Their wrong if they think that only little children should take naps. My reason is that there is evidence that napping can benefit people of all ages. Many famous historical figures take naps. Napping helps people deal with stress and it could renew a person’s energy. For example, if the brilliant scientist Albert Einstein didn’t take naps he would’ve never had invented the light bulb. If the amazing artist Leonardo Da Vinci didn’t take naps, eh would’ve been too sleepy to paint the Mona Lisa. The human body operates according to the internal clock. The clock operates in relation to the Earth’s pattern of darkness at night and bright light during the day. If a person’s internal clock is in sync with his or her habits, the person can most likely sleep well at night and remain awake and alert all

A mother of a 4 year old asks his preschool teacher not to let him nap in the afternoon. She says the nap causes him to stay up too late, and she can’t get him up in the morning. The teacher says the child sleeps soundly for one hour every day and seems to need the sleep to be able to enjoy class activities and get along with other children in the afternoon. (Feeney)

The metaphor of naps represents the american opinion that doing anything beside work is a waste of time. She believes that we are rooted in the idea that, due to America's industrialized economy, citizens feel awkward when not being “productive” and, due to the lack of time we have for pleasure, we are unsure of what to do when it is not necessary for us to be working. As stated in the article, “American employers do not see the afternoon forty winks as refreshing the creative wellsprings of mere employees. They see it as goofing off.” What that quote is saying is that because of the constant expectation of maximum productivity throughout one’s life, one will never experience the pleasures that come in life as well.

To begin with, sleep is so important that even naps can’t replace it. According to source 1, “However, napping doesn’t provide all of the other benefits of a night-time sleep.” This explains that if you’re feeling drowsy, a nap can provide a short-term boost in alertness and performance, but there are other categories that even a nap can’t fill up. However, taking a nap is still better than not resting at all. It’s because if you don’t have enough sleep, you are more likely to have an accident, injury, or illness. Undoubtedly, sleeping is so important that even naps can't replace it.

There is a giant controversy of whether naps are healthy and benefit your health, or if they just waste your time and make you become even more groggy. Naps can be very beneficial for your health and can improve many aspects of the brain if taken correctly.

Sleep deprivation has become a wide spread issue in the United States. This spans from kids as young as 10 as far up as adults in their 40s and 50s. This causes these people to either be not at the top of their game, which can hinder their performance, and it can also make them start to get addicted to caffeinated beverages such as coffee and energy drinks. This issue could be solved with one thing, napping.

Having to struggle with stress and tiredness can alter one's working performance, while in school or at school. In the article, “The Truth about Napping”, the text states, “American presidents John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton all took frequent naps to help them deal with the pressure of leading a powerful nation. After a nap, people tend to be happier and more alert. They do good work and avoid mistakes,” (“The Truth about Napping”, paragraph 1 and 9). This demonstrates that even some of the people who deal with the

Naps some people say they are a bad thing but others like me say they are a good thing in the text it says that historical people use to take naps like john F kennedy and bill clinton to stay in check from all the pressure from being a president of such a strong nation Many people take naps so they can stay up at night so they can focus on their job or whatever they want to do at night without being tired

The question people have spreading around the world is that is napping good or bad so i'm going show you some evidence from all 3 sources from the article. So first off Let's start off with source #1 it states that ¨Naps may provide a short-term boost in alertness and performance¨ However it also states in source #2 that ¨a professor at the University of pennsylvania, found that latting subjects nap for as little as 24 minutes improved their cognitive performance¨. Also in paragraph 5 on source it states that ¨They did research with volunteers. The researchers found that napping improved memory but not alertness.¨ this can help us say why naps are helpful but at the sametime it can't, here's why, because it's telling us that it will improve something that we need but then it's saying that we will not be aware at the time so it's basically a win-lose situation.

The lack of sleep is very actual topic for million people who have “social jet lag” schedule like me. I picked this topic without any hesitation because I always dream about couple extra sleep hours. I am workaholic and always work hard, but decision to change career and get another degree in healthcare made my life extremely busy. America is the country of great possibilities and people who want to get education can do it any time. Here is no age discrimination, so even people of my age can go back to school; moreover, such people are supported : they can get financial help and from the government and from the facility they are working, especially, if the facility needs graduated professionals.

"Obviously, it's no substitute for sleep, but I definitely feel more relaxed afterward," she says”.This shows that sleep can't be replaced ,but napping can help you feel more relaxed than being tired.In 2007, a study by the Harvard School of Public Health discovered that people who took 30-minute naps at least three times a week were 37% less likely to die of heart disease.This relates to the topic sentence because it shows that napping can save your life by lowering the percentage to 37% from dying from a heart disease.All in all we can see that sleep is number one, but a solution of not getting sleep is napping.

Well naptime probably does not exist in some adults lives. Adults are too busy with either school or work to take naps during the day. If an adult takes a nap it is like a luxury. Adults cherish the moments when they can just relax and sleep for 30 minutes out of the day, which is rare. Sleep is probably the best thing invented to adults. Our parents made us takes naps as a kid because we were either to energized or cranky. In Pre-School and Kindergarten naps were mandatory for students so that they can be energized and ready to learn when they wake up. We hated the fact that we had to take a nap every day or even twice a day because we felt like we were going to miss out on something. Children have the best life ever, they can sleep whenever they want to without a
