Are you a Napper or a Napping Nay Sayer?

by Dow P. Winscott

Could 15 well spent minutes a day leave you feeling relaxed, recharged and ready to take on the world? Are you ready to indulge yourself in the guilty pleasure that is not fattening, won't elevate your cholesterol count, is not habit forming, will never, ever leave you with a hangover, and is absolutely free!?
Nappers of every stripe and persuasion will be delighted with the celebration and affirmation that The Art of The Nap represents and will welcome the creative stragies for making their naps even more heavenly. The napping nay sayers may remain skeptical, but even they will have to take a second look at the benefits of napping once they take the closer look that The Art of The Nap provides.
So, whether if you are an avowed and experienced "power napper", a "pre-emptive napper" or just like to curl up on the couch and zone out for a few minutes - read on and learn how to get your optimal best from the greatest guilty pleasure known to man (and woman) -- the nap!
Dow P. Winscott knows the value of napping. An avowed multi-tasker, Winscott, an adjunct instructor, has taught the full Psychology curriculum at College of DuPage for nearly thirty years, maintains a private psychotherapy practice, is the lead associate for a practice dedicated to meeting the social service needs of several suburban police departments and still finds time to serve as the General Manager for a manufacturing firm. An active community member, Winscott has served as a Police Commissioner for the past seventeen years. Winscott states, "I love doing all of the things that I do, but without the benefit of the occasional nap, I would be walking in my sleep. Not a great way to get things done!"

Review of The Art of The Nap
by Christine Hornby
Wow! Who knew? I've been on the fence between a napper and naysayer for years. I am a busy mom of 3 and have always felt guilty about sneaking in a nap every so often. I couldn't even admit it to my friends (or husband). Now I know that I can be Supermom with a few naps here and there. This book is witty, informative, and well written. Way to go! Nappers unite! :)
