Summary of Sara C. Mednick's Take a Nap! Change Your Life

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 In a perfect world, all humans, including you, would nap. Scientists have already determined this, and their results back up what historians, anthropologists, artists, and countless brilliant leaders and thinkers have been telling their peers for centuries.

#2 The majority of animals sleep in multiple phases. Humans, on the other hand, attempt to get all their sleep in one phase.

#3 The Romans believed that nymphs cast evil spells of madness upon those who were out and about at midday, since people who skipped their nap showed signs of mental disturbances.

#4 The nap has been proven to be woven into our genetic code. In the 1950s, Dr. Jurgen Aschoff of the Max Planck Institute in Germany conducted a study in which he renovated some abandoned World War II bunkers with all the amenities of small one-bedroom flats, except that they had no windows, clocks, televisions, radios, or newspapers.
