Not everyone have a good night sleep everyday. You have a good sleep when wake up in the morning with freshness and well feeling. Job like physician or other "night owl job" must stay wake up when there is a night call for emergency. So sometimes good sleeps are very valuable and scarcity. How to keep our head fresh and can go through busy activities next day vigorously? I will share one of my tricks : micro-sleeping.
Micro-sleeping or micro-napping is a sleep strategy that can maximize your productivity and lead to great health and awareness. Micro-sleeping can help you achieve your goals. Researchers have found in recent years that the human body requires only as much sleep as the brain will allow it. In other words, so long as the brain is functioning at full capacity, there’s no great requirement for sleep.
Short sleep like 20-minute power naps for people who are really engrossed in their work, almost always provide a fresh burst of new ideas and energy.
How to micro-sleeping?
You may have already experienced a micro-sleep without realizing it. Example, when you feel tired when studying or reading a book, suddenly you sleep and when wake up you feel fresh and have a "gross tank of energy". That's micro sleeping.
Go to a place where you safe to lean back and just close your eyes safe in the knowledge that if you fall asleep nobody will see you. When you feel you need a micro sleep just schedule 5 or 10 minutes away from everyone. I usually go to campus library or park so I can micro-sleep there or just sit lean back on the toilet.
Micro-sleep tend to eliminate the need for caffeine boosts during the workday. This method can also make you less stress, improve alertness, get motivate, increase cognitive functioning and good for heart. Remember don't micro-sleep in the middle of work or when you drive car.
