Based on information gathered from thousands of nappers and would-be-nappers, the Anthonys have identified the following eight significant advantages of napping:
1. Napping improves mood - makes you feel better
2. Napping improves performance - makes you more productive
3. Napping is no cost - no expensive clothes or equipment needed
4. Napping is no sweat - no shower needed
5. Napping is self prescribed - no doctor’s orders needed
6. Napping is non-fattening - you cannot eat while napping
7. Napping is a non-invasive procedure - no one does anything to you
8. Napping has no dangerous side effects - unless you are driving
They have written two widely acclaimed books, The Art of Napping and The Art of Napping at Work, explaining their findings about the value of a nap.
