Thank you for this excellent reminder, dear Axé. Yes, I get cranky if I miss my daily nap - even if it’s just a 20-minute snooze.

Yes, I find I can get flustered, anxious and start spinning if I don't allow myself to stop and be. 20 minute power naps have been a long time friend for me. Glad this resonated.

Great read! I was a big siesta guy in 2023 and then stopped but reading this is a gentle reminder that I should bring it back! I hear siesta can actually lead to a longer life.

Ooh... I love that idea, and it feels like it makes sense. If we allow ourselves to turn off the clock, honor our bodies, and allow some dream space--that feels like restoration and longevity to me!
