The People in Your Business, Make Your Business

NeuroTips #1 | June 2023

We all have our little guilty secrets. I'm sure you have.......right? I bet the people around you do too.

I have one. The only person who knows is my husband Rich and he enjoys it too.

Curious to know what it is?

Here we go - I enjoy a 20-minute quick shut-,eye after lunch! It's bliss. I've noticed that in times when I don't and just kept on going, I quickly become grumpy and forgetful.

And here's the best part, a NASA study, and they know a thing or two, saw pilots improve their performance by 34% and alertness by 54% after a 10-20 minute nap.

Recent studies also show that benefits include increased alertness & creativity, better memory consolidation, stress reduction, improved processing of new information and happier moods, to say nothing of reinforcing a champion mindset! Plus, a nap doesn't affect your quality of night's sleep.

Napping it turns out is one of the essential tools for our well-being and health, with a range of brain & physical benefits. Imagine if within your well-being programme and tapping into the human intelligence of your team, you create a company-wide napping habit wherever people are working from, making it one your business rituals? After all we know that performance and engagement increases with a 4 day week so why not try adding a nap to the culture!

As Ted Lasso would say: 'It could be one of those Obi-Wan, Gandalf moments"
