After a week of midday breaks, I felt better-rested, calmer and more energised. I started heading out on a 20-30 minute walk after my nap, as well as doing more structured cardio or strength workouts most evenings.

Napping has made me more disciplined about getting to bed on time, and it hasn’t messed with my nighttime sleep (that might be because I’ve never succeeded in napping longer than 30 minutes). Some days, I’ve even napped twice – once before lunch, once after. It might take a while to get into the groove but now I’ve started daytime sleeping, I don’t want to give it up.

Now, you might be wondering: ’Who has the time for all this napping?’, and I used to be that person. But I’ve now realised that I never used to prioritise sleep and once you do, pockets of time open up. I never questioned my need to scroll social media for 20 minutes (or more) every afternoon but the idea of hitting the hay for the same time? Unimaginable.

As Dr Lederle says: “We all want a bit of ‘me’ time and that comes at the cost of sleep, but sleep is the thing that sustains you.”

“Napping every day has been the single best energy-booster I’ve tried – here’s why the sleep experts recommend it”
