Mark's Daily Apple Thursday, December 23, 2021 4:54 PM Hi folks, if everything feels more challenging right now, you'll definitely want to check out this week's post. PHCI's Coaching & Curriculum Director and seasoned health coach, Erin Power, is here to show you how to achieve your goals with less force and more flow. Got a question for our health coaches? Drop it in the comments below or over in our Mark's Daily Apple Facebook group. Jason asked: "Nearly every day, often in the late afternoon, I get so tired I can't do anything (whether it be work, socializing, or exercise). Still, instead of surrendering to a nap, I try to force myself to do something. Do you have any tips for these situations?" What if, instead of forcing your body into doing something it doesn't want to do, you actually did the thing it wanted you to do? We make things so much harder than they need to be. Like when your stomach growls. Your first thought might be to ignore it because it's not a mealtime, or because you just ate, or because you're trying to fast for another few hours. Or you're convinced you're thirsty and suck down a glass of water to keep the growling at bay. Here's an idea: what if you responded to your body's signals instead of dismissing them? How amazing would that be? You say you get so tired that you can't do anything. So, what's the benefit of forcing yourself to stay up? Is it because you have work to do? Responsibilities to manage? Think napping's only for kids? Worried the productivity police will come and pull your overachiever card? Are Naps Good for You? In many cultures (that are far smarter than we are, mind you), midday naps are considered non-negotiable. From Spanish siestas to Italian riposos to Japanese inemuris, these cultures believe that napping is a respected activity you can and should do daily. So really, it's just us folks here in the "developed West" that equate napping with laziness. But tons of research shows the widespread benefits of taking a midday rest, everything from improved alertness to a longer life span. In fact, I took a nap in the middle of the day last week, and my Oura Ring upgraded my sleep score from an already impressive 96, to a 98 (out of a possible 100). So, naps can absolutely count as beneficial, quality sleep. How Long Should Naps Be? Take this study that looked at the impact of napping on athletes. Researchers had thirteen national-level karate athletes take either a thirty-minute nap or no nap after a night of partial sleep deprivation. Then they completed a series of tests that included cognitive and physical activities like reaction time, mental rotation, squat jumps, and countermovement jumps. The study found that a thirty-minute nap enhanced cognitive function and helped the athletes overcome psychological and physical fatigue more effectively. Thirty minutes of resting can leave you feeling restored and ready to take on anything. There are even studies … Continue reading "Ask a Health Coach: How to Reach Your Goals More Easily" The post Ask a Health Coach: How to Reach Your Goals More Easily appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple. |
