Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's deeper in the den with dangerous day. Well, you know,
we all get tired, and they say about eighty percent
of people will nap, even if it's just a brief
one before bad kind of a nappetizer, so to speak. Well,
there's new research out for the perfect nap one forty
two pm. Optimum length fifty one minutes, meaning you're wake
up at two thirty three or earlier if the boss

(00:22):
catches you. If a nap it goes longer than that
and an hour and a half, it can do more
harm than good because it can screw up your momentum
and energy levels. And if it goes on for two
and a half hours and it's officially full sleep session
for some people, fifty one minutes can be too long.
One sleep expert advised that naps should be kept short.
Twenty to thirty minutes is ideal. The people at NASA agree.

(00:44):
While back they did a study and found of the
perfect nap twenty six minutes. That is only if you
go through the first two stages of sleep at that time.
For me, ten to fifteen minutes. If I ever do
take a nap, just a little cat nap. You probably
heard me do that during the show. Well, at least
you thought I was napping in the two. Valentine's Day tomorrow.
If you celebrate, you should probably have a gift by now.

(01:06):
If you don't, don't worry. There's plenty of quick options.
Then make it seem like you were actually thoughtful. There's
an article online that claims to have the best and
worst Valentine's Day gifts. The rationale behind them is a
little bit shaky, but see what you think. They say
the best gifts are watches. Site experts as a watch
represents the gift of time. By giving a watch, you
promise your partner you'll be present for them. Do people

(01:27):
wear watches anymore unless it's like an Apple Watch or
a fit Bit? Just wondering. Chocolate chocolate can be traced
back to the Mayans, who view cocoa, the main ingredient
in chocolate, as the heart opener. Of course, chocolates are
good scarves, they say. They represent a strong spiritual connection,
and they show faith in the relationship and the desire
to keep each other warm and protected. Yeah, and she

(01:48):
can strangle you with it when you really make her mad.
Kitchen wear. Despite the backlash against this, it seems functional
and boring. But kitchen utensils let your partner know you
want to nourish each other, so and create something together
like what spaghetti? All right? The worst gifts lingerie, the
site expert says, since underwear covers your most private areas,

(02:09):
it represents a desire to hide something, and your partner
maybe sending you the message that they're keeping something from you. Actually,
I was thinking lingerie as a gift for Valentine's Day
would be more about me than it would be about her. Alcohol.
The word alcohol comes from the Arabic word al cohol,
which links both early cosmetics and spirits, and the word ghoul,

(02:29):
derived from the same source. How about if it's a
pricey bottle of alcohol and maybe it makes it easier
for her to be with you? I don't know. And
bath salts, they say it's not a good one because
salt is a cleanser and purifier. If we give bath salts,
it'll help rid the receiver of negativity in a relationship,
and you might be the toxic partner it gets cleansed
the way. Well, what if she enjoys it and she

(02:51):
needs to relax. By the way, guys, don't ever tell
her that to me again for another episode of Deeper
in the Den with dangerous Dave clay year
