Travel Time and productivity

In our modern and busy world travelling has become even more hectic and time consuming  than in the 70's or 80's. Traffic jams and over populated motorways consume a lot of your travelling time and can sometimes even double or triple this.

For sales people who often travel by car over long distances the Power Nap can help quite effectively.

So what is the Power Nap?

A Power Nap is a short sleep which should last not more than 20 minutes. This short sleep will help you restore from fatigue, drowsiness or sleep. It should be taken at a preset time or when you feel that you are becoming sleepy or drowsy. And it works very well for people who travel long distances by car.

What are the steps to an effective Power Nap:

1. Have a warm cup of coffee by hand!
2. Park your car in a parking area on the most quiet part. Put your radio and/or mobile phone on silence. Avoid other distractions.
3. Drink your coffee and set your alarm to go off in 15 minutes. Your question now would be: drinking your coffee? Yes, coffee can take up to 45 minutes to start working. Which means that by the time you wake up the coffee will help give you the extra boost you want or need.
4. After having set your alarm, close your eyes and try to fall asleep. This is something some people need to train themselves to do. If you are quite stressed it can take more practice. You can also consider using music which can bring you into a more relaxing mood.
5. Get up as soon as the alarm goes off. Sleeping longer than 25 minutes will work contra-productive. This will make you tired and sluggish. Get out of the car, take a short walk and then move on with your travelling. 

Last note:

Power Napping captures the first 2 stages of 5 in the sleep cycle. These 2 first stages take place in the first 20 seconds. They make you feel more rested and alert and they make your brain work more faster and accurately. This because they help the electrical signals in your nervous system strengthen the connection between neurons which are involved in muscle memory.
