We’ve all been there — eyes heavy at 3 p.m., wondering if a quick nap will help or hurt. The truth is: naps can be amazing if you do them right.
🌟 Today’s Sleep Tip: The 20-Minute Sweet Spot
Short naps (10–20 min): Boost alertness and mood without grogginess.

👉 Best time: Early afternoon, before 3 p.m., so you don’t delay nighttime sleep.
