A friend of mine has a house with a basketball court and a pool. The guys go over and play basketball; I lie by the pool and nap in the sun. That defines me. That's consistent with who I am. I don't pretend to play basketball because I wanna feel like one of the guys. I wanna lie in the sun and relax.
I make myself lie down every afternoon; otherwise I'll be too exhausted by the night-time. If I can't nap, I'll watch a little bit of TV and just relax for two or three hours.
Laziness works. And the simple way to incorporate its health benefits into your life is simply to take a nap.
I usually sleep ten to eight hours per night. I sometimes also have a nap in the afternoon.
When the going gets tough, the tough take a nap.
I have a hard time getting past the day without the nap, so the nap is a must.
There is no point at which you can say, 'Well, I'm successful now. I might as well take a nap.'
Sleep more at night. If it's allowed at work or home, take a nap in the afternoon. You'll be amazed at how much better you'll feel.
There is more refreshment and stimulation in a nap, even of the briefest, than in all the alcohol ever distilled.
Surely, anyway, a working day of eight or nine hours which is not split by a nap is simply too much for a human being to take, day in, day out, and particularly so in hot weather.
