IF you’re grouchy and you know it, take a nap! Kids and grandparents aren’t the only ones who need to nap. Taking a nap is like pressing the reset button on your computer. You black out momentarily and make a refreshing comeback. It can happen, even with just a 20-minute catnap.

So what’s the connection with being grouchy? I’m certain you’ve had those mid-afternoon moments when you just wanted to snap at someone or get easily frustrated with work. Perhaps you’re getting a little drowsy without realizing it. How about taking a nap? It’s a quick way to revitalize yourself from being “low batt” or turning into a monster.

20 minutes of shut-eye is all it takes. More than half an hour and you might affect your normal bedtime routine. If you’re worried about a nap overtime, set an alarm.

Don’t underestimate the power of a good nap! Not only does it refresh you, it puts you in a better mood and makes you more productive.
