To my dear overwhelmed businessman — I see you. Meetings back to back. 📞💼 Phone always buzzing. Your brain running a marathon with no break. No wonder you feel exhausted, stressed, anxious — especially by the end of the week.
While working from home, I noticed something surprising. On days when I let myself have a short nap during my break — or between meetings — I felt different. Calmer. More focused. Less anxious. My mind wasn't spiralling anymore. Even my heart felt lighter.
Then I started paying attention to my friends. Most of them were stressed out by Thursday. Snappy, tired, anxious, done with the week. I thought — how can I help them without suggesting something unrealistic like a silent retreat in the mountains? 🏔️
And the answer came: nap. 😴
Now listen, I get it. Not everyone can nap during work hours. But many people can — especially those who work from home, run their own business, or have flexible lunch breaks. And if you can't nap during the week, do it on your days off. Your nervous system will thank you.
Napping isn't lazy. It's science. If you're someone dealing with anxiety, stress or burnout (and let’s be honest, most of us are), a nap can genuinely recharge your body and brain. Here’s how it works:

I just had a 20-minute nap before writing this article. No shame, just science and self-care.
Let’s nap.
Let’s win.
