Surviving the Olympics- Sleep


I’m not talking about the athletes, I’m talking about “us”, the viewers. Since I was up until almost 4am watching the US men’s volleyball team defeat Russia in 5 sets, I’m dragging a bit today. So here is a little advice for those of you in the same boat- take a nap. Research has shown that we can actually function on as little as 4 hours sleep if we take several 15-20 minutes naps throughout the day. The key is to not sleep longer than that or you will not wake up sharp enough to function. Fortunately for me, I am self employed so the nap thing is easy to do. But if you have to go to work, consider heading to your car during lunch or on a break for a quick 15 min nap. Remember to set the alarm on your watch or cell phone so you don’t umm, oversleep!
