More Sleep

via Swimming World

Just spotted another sleep-related article on Outside.  This one focuses on elite athlete napping.

The "n" in the study (30) is rather tiny, so it may not be telling us a whole lot.

The article is here

Their sleepiness was assessed on a nine-point scale called the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale.

Must be nice to have a "sleepiness" scale named after you, right?

None of these studies address what we all really want to know, which is the magic recipe that will allow us to fall asleep instantly upon demand, anywhere, anytime. But they suggest a shift in how we think about naps. They’re not necessarily a warning that you’re failing to take care of yourself, or drowning in sleep debt. Sometimes they’re a sign that your mind is at peace, your body is at rest, and you’re lucky enough to have a half-hour to spare in the middle of the afternoon. Here’s hoping for more days like that.
