The Power of Napping and why if you snooze... you WIN!
Of course, the expression is, “If you snooze—you lose.”
But that is more aligned with, “He who hesitates—is lost.” We all know that fatigue causes many unintentional incidents and injuries. It also impacts creativity and can greatly interfere with customer relations, whether they be inside or outside customers.
So the negative aspects of fatigue are relatively well-known and well-documented. There are lots of very alarming statistics, especially with fatal motor vehicle collisions. And yet, there’s resistance and skepticism about such a simple solution.
Cara Moore, CEO of ProNappers, is a Nap Ninja and highly regarded executive and life coach. She unashamedly naps every day, in private or equally happily in plain sight!
It is her superpower that makes her a positive powerhouse in business, for her family and in life.
When Cara talks about the power of napping, she begins with the people who “need” to nap. They don’t function well without one. So they need to be accommodated in order to be productive.
I thought this was a brilliant way to start as it makes perfect sense. But from there she talks about the rest (of us).
Even if we don’t need to nap, the benefits are still very significant (huge in some cases).
And finally, she talks candidly about the stigmas and stereotypes, and how many CEOs have to nap in secret to maintain their superhero image...she’s got some pretty funny stories.
