How To Find The Perfect Napping Spot
You could nap in many
different locations; true, but you need to keep in
mind there are a few criteria to respect that can
make the difference between a great relaxing nap and
a frustrating one where you can’t fall asleep and get
angry and stressed about it. What ever location you
choose, use the list below to make sure it is the
best one, and optimal for proper rest.
You need to be able to lock the door so no one enters
the room and disturbs you
The room needs to be dark or you need to be able to
make it dark easily
The room needs to be quiet and as far as possible
from all noise sources
The room needs to be warm enough
Once you have found the place that meets all these
criteria, you are almost ready to take your nap. But
there are a few more things to check: you need to
turn off all phones, and all electric appliances that
generate noise (such as a computer fan) and you need
to close the curtains and darken the room, without
making it completely dark. Now you can relax and
enjoy your nap.

Sleep Quick Tip #1
Instead keep the alarm clock in another room. Make sure you can still hear it when it rings in the morning. That way when you wake up in the middle of the night there is no way for you to tell what time it is. You therefore decrease the stress reaction and make it easier for your body to stay relaxed making it easier for you to go back to sleep.
Think about it: it really doesn't matter what time it is when you wake up; it won't make a difference whether it is 11 pm, 3 am or 6:30 am. What matters is that you go back to sleep asap and the best way to do that is to remain relaxed.
So remember, get that stinkin' clock out of there and chill out when you wake up.

Keeping A Regular Sleep Schedule
For some of you, what I am about to say may seem like
I want to make your life boring, but believe it or
not you cannot keep doing the same thing over and
over and expect different results. So here is what
you need to do, if you really want to improve the way
you sleep:
You need to have a regular
schedule, EVERY DAY! This means Monday through
Sunday, and even on vacation. You need to go to sleep
at the same time and wake up at the same time every
single day.
So you may ask “But why can’t I
wake up late, if I go to bed late? I am still
sleeping the same amount of time”. Well, true; maybe
you are sleeping the same amount of hours. However,
your body has something called the circadian rhythm
which regulates many body functions, including sleep
patterns; it is like a fixed clock. And every time
you change your sleeping hours, you tell your
internal clock to change and reset to new hours.
Problem is, it doesn’t reset right away; it takes
days (just think about how long it takes to
completely get over jet lag).
So if you constantly change your sleep hours, you are
constantly asking your internal clock to change and
reset to new hours, which it can never do and never
stabilize, which results in you having sleep
problems.
Your circadian rhythm doesn’t really care how many
hours you sleep; what it really cares about is what
time you go to sleep so it can prepare to start
releasing Melatonin and what time you wake up, so it
knows when to start decreasing the Melatonin level.
Does this make sense to you?
So figure out how many hours of sleep are optimal for
you, get on a regular sleep schedule and stick to it.
This in turn will set your internal clock, regulate
proper hormone secretion and optimize your sleep
pattern.

How Long Should A Nap Be?
Sleep mechanics are rather complex, and taking naps, can if done improperly actually make things worse. We have all woken up from naps where we felt completely out of it and it took us more than 10 minutes to regain some sort of consciousness and another 10 to get back to our task at hand. However, we have also all woken up from great naps, full of energy, completely recharged and ready to conquer the world. But exactly why is that?
How can one nap leave you groggy and another one fill you with more energy than you've had in a long time.
Well it all has to do with how long you spend napping. Sleep is divided into different phases, or stages and the further you go into the stages the deeper your get into sleep as your brain waves change. When napping, you have to avoid getting into deep or delta sleep. That is when it will be more difficult to wake up and when you will experience the most grogginess.
The truth is, a nap doesn't need to be long to be beneficial. So, anything between 1 and 30 minutes is what you want to aim for, with 20 minutes being the sweet spot: you get a good rest, great benefits and are sure to avoid getting into Delta sleep.
