Podcasts about Napping

"Rest is anything that connects your mind and body" (Tricia Hersey, The Nap MinistryIn this tender Mental Health Awareness Week conversation, Janell shares the hard-earned lesson her cardiac healing journey taught her: rest is not weakness. “Napping is Holy Work” explores the guilt many women carry around slowing down, the wisdom of listening to our bodies, and the sacred invitation to heal gently. If you are emotionally weary, exhausted, or struggling to give yourself permission to rest, this episode offers compassion, hope, and a softer way forward.

If you want to do your best, you'd better get your rest.The quality of your sleep fundamentally affects the quality of your communication. Communicating well, Dr. Cheri Mah says, starts with being well-rested.“Sleep impacts nearly every aspect of how you function,” says Mah, a sleep physician, adjunct lecturer at Stanford Sleep Medicine Center, and internationally recognized expert on sleep and human performance. In her research and work, particularly with elite athletes and professional sports teams, she explores the link between getting rest and doing our best. “If you are getting quality sleep, you can think more clearly, react under pressure, make good judgment calls, have more patience, be more empathetic,” she says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Mah and host Matt Abrahams explore strategies for better sleep, from bedtime routines to paying off “sleep debt” to the “nappuccino” — a caffeine-fueled power nap. Whether you struggle to sleep or can nod off at any time or place, Mah's insights reveal why doing our best requires getting our rest.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Cheri MahEp.183 Rethinks: How Anxiety Can Fuel Better Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:57) - Sleep & Performance (04:11) - Better Sleep Habits (06:16) - Quieting a Racing Mind (07:49) - Dr. Mah's Night Routine (09:19) - Sleep Extension (10:52) - Preparing for Big Events (11:44) - The Nappuccino (13:21) - Managing Jet Lag (15:56) - Chronotypes Explained (18:00) - Starting the Day with Sleep (19:40) - The Final Three Question (23:57) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

In this CPC Together podcast episode, Kevin, Brandon, and Rachel talk about root canals, then swap light Sunday-night “detox” habits like watching SB Mowing lawn-cleanup videos and discuss small life changes such as making the bed, cleanliness, top sheets, and starting a simple skincare routine. The conversation shifts to David Brooks' “Two Mountains” framework: the first mountain centers on achievement and consumption, while the second focuses on inner transformation, character, and a life of contribution rooted in Jesus' way of love. They explore knowing God beyond head knowledge, how inner work fuels outer work, and three obstacles to growth—distraction, fragmentation, and avoidance—ending with reflections on becoming the kind of person who can live in God's presence.

You're doing everything 'right' when it comes to social media sleep routines... the magnesium, the no screens... but you're still not getting quality sleep? There IS a reason (& a fix!) This week on A Millennial Mind, I'm chatting with Stephanie Romiszewski (@stephsleepyhead), sleep physiologist, founder of the Sleepyhead Clinic, and author of Think Less, Sleep More. With nearly two decades of clinical experience, she has helped over 10,000 people fix sleep they thought was unfixable. We dig into why sleep hygiene is largely a myth, why your morning routine matters far more than your night routine, and the two biological mechanisms that actually control your sleep — and how you're probably sabotaging both without knowing it. We also get into popular 'sleep trackers', waking up at 5am, napping, magnesium, pregnancy sleep, and why thinking too hard about your sleep might be the very thing keeping you awake. If you've ever beaten yourself up about bad sleep, wondered if you're broken, or googled yourself into a spiral of sleep anxiety — this one is for you.

Joseph Jebelli believes burnout and overwork has reached pandemic levels, telling Holly Newson that it kills 750,000 people annually, with three out of five workers struggling to maintain a healthy work-life balance. His 2025 book, The Brain At Rest, proposes that regular bouts of doing nothing can change your life. Finding time to let your mind wander and take a daily 30-minute nap can make you more creative and efficient, he argues. In the fourth episode of a six-part podcast series focused on books about the scientific workplace, Jebelli describes the "productivity guilt" he felt during his neuroscience PhD at University College London, where he studied the cell biology of neurodegenerative diseases, followed by a postdoc at the University of Washington, Seattle. "It's the guilt in which you equate your worth as a human being with your output, with how many hours you're in the lab. If it were up to me, there would be a napping room in all laboratories. We have to get it out of our heads that we're switching off, shirking, or being irresponsible or reckless. We're actually helping our brains produce our best work.” Hosted on Acast.

...according to JP's wife. But is she wrong?

One of the hardest transitions I faced with my twin girls was the day they decided naps were optional. Scratch that. The day they decided naps were for babies and they were clearly not babies anymore. If you’re in the trenches of this transition right now, I feel your pain. That sacred afternoon window when both twins sleep simultaneously? It’s basically the only thing keeping you sane. But here’s the good news: you can preserve some of that sanity with a strategic shift to “Quiet Time.” Quick Takeaways Most twins transition away from naps between ages 3-5, though one twin often drops naps before the other Quiet Time can replace naps while still giving you (and them) a much-needed break The key is consistency: same time, same place, same expectations every single day You’ll need to adjust your expectations during the transition period (it will be rough) Both twins benefit from Quiet Time even if only one still naps When Do Twins Typically Stop Napping? According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, most children transition away from regular naps between ages 3 and 5. But with twins, you’ve got double the fun because they rarely drop naps at the exact same time. With my girls, one started fighting naps around age 3, while her sister happily napped for months after that. Brutal. One twin bouncing off the walls while the other needed to sleep created a daily wrestling match I was not equipped to handle. The challenge with twins: When one drops their nap, they often wake or disturb the twin who still needs to sleep. This is where Quiet Time becomes essential for both of them. Signs Your Twins Are Ready to Drop Naps You’ll know it’s happening when: Taking 30-45 minutes (or longer) to fall asleep at nap time Skipping naps altogether without becoming completely miserable by dinner Staying up later at bedtime when they do nap One twin consistently waking the other during nap attempts Fighting you on nap time with increasing intensity I noticed with our girls that the non-napping twin would literally stand in her crib singing songs while her sister tried to sleep. Not exactly the peaceful rest period I was going for. The Transition Period (Spoiler: It’s Rough) Let me be honest: the transition from naps to no naps is legitimately hard. You’re losing your break, they’re losing rest they still partially need, and everyone’s cranky. What to expect during the transition: Emotional meltdowns in late afternoon (both theirs and possibly yours) Inconsistency (napping some days, not others) Earlier bedtimes becoming absolutely critical Testing of boundaries as they figure out this new routine Your patience wearing thin by 4 PM This phase typically lasts 2-4 weeks per child. Yes, that means with twins you might be dealing with transition chaos for several months if they drop naps at different times. The key is not fighting the inevitable. Once a twin consistently refuses to nap and isn’t melting down every evening, it’s time to pivot to Quiet Time rather than spending 90 minutes trying to force sleep that isn’t coming. What Is Quiet Time? Quiet Time is a designated period (usually 1-2 hours) when your twins stay in their room engaging in calm, independent activities. It’s not sleep, but it’s not free-range chaos either. The ground rules we established: Same time every day (1:00-2:30 PM for us) Stay in your room or designated quiet area Play independently with quiet toys (books, puzzles, coloring, building blocks) No screens (this is rest time, not entertainment time) You don’t have to sleep, but you do have to stay quiet The beauty of Quiet Time is that it works whether one twin naps, both nap, or neither naps. The twin who still needs sleep can actually get it without disruption. Setting Up Successful Quiet Time 1. Establish Clear Expectations We sat down with both girls before we started and explained the new routine. “You’re getting bigger now, and big kids don’t always need naps. But everyone in our house has Quiet Time after lunch. This is your time to rest your body and play quietly in your room.” Keep it simple and matter-of-fact. This isn’t a punishment, it’s just how our family works now. 2. Create the Right Environment Set up their room (or separate spaces if one still naps) with appropriate Quiet Time activities: Books within easy reach A few favorite quiet toys rotated weekly Puzzles or activity books Stuffed animals Art supplies if they’re responsible enough (we learned this one the hard way) Remove anything that will cause fights or loud play. The goal is genuinely quiet, independent activity. 3. Use a Visual Timer Get an OK to Wake clock that shows the twins when Quiet Time is over. No more “Is it done yet?” every five minutes. When the clock turns green, they can come out. Until then, they stay put. For younger twins (under 4), a simple kitchen timer works too. The key is giving them a concrete endpoint they can understand. 4. Stay Consistent This is the most important piece. Quiet Time happens every single day at the same time, no exceptions. Weekends, holidays, sick days (unless they’re really sick). The consistency is what makes it work. If you give in once because they’re being loud or you think they won’t actually do it, you’re teaching them that Quiet Time is negotiable. It’s not. Handling the Twin Who Still Naps If one twin still needs to nap while the other doesn’t, you’ve got options: Option 1: Same room, different expectations The non-napping twin does Quiet Time in their bed or a designated quiet spot in the room while the other sleeps. This requires the non-napper to be genuinely capable of quiet independent play. Option 2: Separate spaces The napper sleeps in the bedroom while the non-napper has Quiet Time in another room (playroom, your room, wherever works). This is what we eventually did because trying to keep one twin quiet while the other slept was like trying to keep a puppy from barking. Option 3: Staggered timing Start Quiet Time for the non-napper 30 minutes before the napper goes down. This gives you time to settle the sleeper without interference, then the non-napper joins Quiet Time in their separate space. According to our pediatrician, it’s completely normal for twins to have different sleep needs. Don’t force the one who still needs rest to give up naps just because their twin is ready. They’ll even out eventually. What Happens During Quiet Time (For You) Here’s the thing nobody tells you: Quiet Time isn’t just for your twins. It’s for you. This is your window to: Pay bills without little hands “helping” Do literally anything that requires focus Sit in silence if that’s what you need Prep dinner without constant interruptions I used this time to catch up on work emails, meal prep, or sometimes just sit on the couch and stare at the wall. After months of non-stop twin parenting, those 90 minutes felt like a vacation. Don’t feel guilty about this. Rested parents are better parents. Troubleshooting Common Quiet Time Problems “They keep coming out of their room” The first week, expect this. Walk them back calmly every single time without engaging. “It’s Quiet Time. Back to your room.” Don’t negotiate, don’t explain again, just redirect. They’ll test the boundary, but if you’re consistent, they’ll stop. “They’re fighting with each other instead of playing quietly” Separate them. If they can’t handle Quiet Time in the same space, they do it in different rooms. One gets the bedroom, one gets the playroom. Problem solved. “They’re destroying their room” Remove anything that can be destroyed. Keep only Quiet Time-appropriate items available during this window. If they’re dumping out toy bins, those toys disappear. They get books and a few select quiet toys. Period. “They’re being so loud I can’t actually get anything done” Use a sound machine or white noise in their room to muffle some noise, but also accept that the first few weeks won’t be as peaceful as you’d hoped. They’re learning. Stick with it. “One twin constantly wakes the other up” This is your sign they need separate spaces for Quiet Time. It’s not ideal, but it’s necessary for both of them to actually get the rest or quiet they need. Adjusting Your Expectations Here’s what I had to learn the hard way: Quiet Time will not be as restorative for you as nap time was. It won’t. They’re awake, they’re making some noise, and you might need to enforce boundaries a few times. But it’s still exponentially better than no break at all. What successful Quiet Time looks like: Twins staying in their designated spaces Relatively calm play (not screaming or fighting) You getting a mental break even if not total silence Everyone emerging in better moods than when you started That’s it. If you achieve those four things, you’re winning. The Bedtime Connection One unexpected benefit of the nap-to-Quiet Time transition: bedtime got way easier. When my girls stopped napping, they were actually tired at bedtime for the first time in months. No more 9 PM battles because they weren’t legitimately sleepy. We moved bedtime earlier (6:30-7:00 PM instead of 8:00 PM), and they crashed hard. Once children drop their nap, they typically need to go to bed 30-60 minutes earlier to compensate for lost daytime sleep. Don’t fight this. Embrace the early bedtime. Your evenings will be glorious. When Both Twins Drop Naps Completely Eventually, both your twins will stop napping altogether. For us, this happened when they were both around 4 years old. But we kept Quiet Time as long as possible. Even when they no longer needed the physical rest, they still benefited from the quiet downtime. And honestly, my wife or I still needed the break. Parenting twins is marathon-level exhausting, and that daily window of reduced intensity was essential for my sanity. Even children who don’t nap still benefit from daily quiet rest periods. It helps with emotional regulation, reduces overstimulation, and gives their brains a break from constant activity. Plus, as they got older, Quiet Time became reading time. Both girls would spend an hour reading independently in their room, which built their reading skills while giving me that precious break. Win-win. Making the Transition Easier Start before you’re desperate If you wait until naps are completely gone and you’re losing your mind, the transition will be harder. Start implementing Quiet Time while at least one twin is still napping. This establishes the routine before you’re relying on it for survival. Frame it positively “You’re growing up! Big kids get Quiet Time instead of naps.” Make it sound like a privilege, not a punishment. They’ll resist less if they think it’s a marker of maturity. Be patient with yourself The first month is an adjustment period for everyone. You’ll miss naps. You’ll feel touched out by 3 PM. That’s completely normal. Give yourself grace while everyone adapts to the new routine. Celebrate small wins The first time both twins stay in their rooms for the full Quiet Time without you having to redirect them? That’s worth celebrating. You did it. They did it. Progress. The Long Game Here’s the reality: losing naps feels like losing the last shred of personal time in your day. With twins, that feeling is even more intense because you’ve been running on survival mode for years at this point. But Quiet Time, done consistently, can give you back a version of that break. It won’t be the same as when they both slept for two hours every afternoon, but it’s something. And with twins, something is often all we’re aiming for. My girls are older now, and I look back on the nap-to-Quiet Time transition as one of the harder parenting adjustments I’ve made. But implementing and sticking with Quiet Time was absolutely worth it. It gave all of us the space we needed to recharge, even if nobody was actually sleeping. Your twins will adapt. You’ll adapt. And eventually, you’ll have a new routine that works for this phase of twin life.

https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/70332973/download.mp3 The first day of workouts at the NFL combine in Indianapolis yielded some impressive on-field results to go along with a “controversy” involving Jets head coach Aaron Glenn. On hand to observe this year’s prospects, Glenn was caught by NFL network cameras in the booth with Glenn appearing to be “asleep” for five seconds before popping his head up and fans did not react well.  Outraged Jets supporters called it embarrassing, a joke, and a fireable offense. Upon further review however, it did appear Aaron Glenn may have been looking down at a phone or tablet in front of him.  And even if he did nod off for a second, go ahead and watch his comments at the podium from the previous day.  You could hear in Glenn’s voice that he was either coming down with or getting over an illness of some kind.  If that meant he didn’t watch somebody run 40 yards in a straight line in their pajamas, so be it.  There are far more important things to worry about in Indy. As far as the players who did pop on the first day of workouts, Ohio State won the day as linebacker Sonny Styles stole the show while projected top five pick Arvell Reese wasn’t far behind.  Styles checked in at 4.46 in the 40 while jumping out of the building with a 43.5” vertical, a 11′ 2” broad jump and a 1.56 10-yard split. Combining his film with his workouts mean any notion of Styles falling to the Jets at sixteen is not happening. Meanwhile, Reese, who many project to the Jets with pick number two, ran a blazing 4.46 40 at 241 pounds Some other noteworthy performers in Indy: Player Pos Ht/Wt School 40 10 yd split Vert Broad 3-Cone 20yd Shuttle Bench Bailey, David Edge 6′ 4” 251 Texas Tech 4.5 1.62 35” 10′ 9” – – – Hill Jr, Anthony LB 6′ 2” 238 Texas 4.51 1.58 37” 10′ 5” – – 21 Lawrence, Malachi Edge 6′ 4” 253 UCF 4.52 1.59 40” 10′ 10” – – – Rodriguez, Jacob LB 6′ 1” 231 Texas Tech 4.57 1.6 38.5” 10′ 1” 6.9 4.29 – Elams-Orr, Kaleb LB 6′ 2” 234 TCU 4.47 1.59 40” 10′ 4” – 4.41 – Dennis-Sutton, Dani DT 6′ 6” 256 Penn State 4.67 1.63 39.5” 10′ 11” 6.9 – – Capehart, Damonte DT 6′ 5” 312 Clemson 4.85 1.71 33.5” 8′ 11” – – – Halton, Grace DT 6′ 3” 293 Oklahoma 4.82 1.7 36.5” 9′ 6” 8.09 4.79 – Banks, Caleb DT 6′ 6” 327 Florida 5.04 1.76 32” 9′ 6” – – – The post Aaron Glenn Napping in Indy?

We are BACK after a quick break (sure, let's say it's Olympic related, why not), and we once again delve into all things Philadelphia Sports. Whether the public demands it or not!First - we almost live looked in at the Sixers v the Hawks after the All Star Break. And things are...not yet up to game speed for the Sixers. Maxey is starting to plateau out, PG is still suspended, Embiid has a thing with a body part...but VJ wins MVP of the Rising Stars game! That last part is really the only good news. Maybe we shoulda kept Jared McCain. I refuse to look up his solid stats and minutes played on his new team lol.NEXT - we compare the seemingly similar strife striking squads situation in South Philly. The Phils have a Dombrowski / Harper problem, and the Eagles kinda have an overall AJ Brown problem. We discuss the similarities between to the two - is it really about questionable leadership on the coaching / GM side? Or is it just entitled diva season from the players end of things? Man, I just hope we hang on to these two anchor players, because we need em if we are gonna continue our winning ways.We promise to be more upbeat next week - if the NEWS ALLOWS IT TO BE.Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.comIG: @hoagiemouthpod

Episode 378 revisits Dr. Shane Creado's science-driven advice on sleep, strategic napping, and why sleep is foundational for health, hormones, immunity, and performance. Learn practical nap protocols (10–20 minutes or 90-minute recovery naps), timing, environment tips, and how to protect your morning from cortisol-spiking habits like checking phones. The episode also shows how combining a short nap with the Silva Method — setting an intention and entering alpha — can boost creativity, insight, and problem-solving. It concludes with actionable routines to improve sleep consistency, support shift workers, and make sleep a strategy for better productivity and well-being. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. This week, in our review of EP 72 with Shane Creado, MD and his book Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes and will learn:  How strategic napping, morning brain habits, and even the Silva Method all work together to reset your brain, boost performance, and transform your health from the inside out. Clip 1: The Science of Strategic Napping In Clip 1, Dr. Shane Creado explains why every cell in the body follows its own circadian rhythm—and why humans were historically wired for polymodal sleep, with natural dips in alertness that make afternoon naps biologically appropriate. You'll learn: Why the “post-lunch crash” is actually a melatonin rise, not just fatigue Why old advice to “avoid naps” is outdated How short, intentional naps can boost alertness, learning, mood, and performance The simple rules behind strategic napping: length, timing, and environment This clip lays the groundwork for using naps as a tool—not a crutch—for better brain function. Clip 2: Your Morning Cortisol Curve & Hidden Sleep Dangers Clip 2 shifts the focus to the first moments of your day. Dr. Creado warns that checking your phone the moment you wake up spikes cortisol and sends your brain into danger mode, increasing anxiety and disrupting emotional regulation for the entire day. You'll also learn: Why shift work fragments DNA Why the WHO classifies shift work as a possible carcinogen How sleep protects your hormones, immune system, gut health, and long-term aging This clip reinforces that sleep is foundational biology, not optional or replaceable. How This All Connects to The Silva Method We close the episode by tying these insights back to our most-listened-to series—the Silva Method. Both Dr. Creado's strategies and Silva's techniques point to the same powerful truth: When we intentionally shift the brain into restorative states—through sleep, strategic napping, or Alpha/Theta training—we unlock higher performance, creativity, intuition, and emotional stability. You'll see how: Strategic naps naturally guide the brain into Alpha and Theta brainwave patterns Morning routines that protect your cortisol curve mimic Silva's “mental housecleaning” Sleep resets the brain in the same way Silva exercises reset focus, clarity, and intuition Both methods teach us to work with the brain, not against it Together, the science of sleep and the mental training of Silva give you a complete framework for building peak performance from the inside out. Episode 378: Featuring Dr. Shane Creado (Integrating the Silva Method[i] for Increased Creativity-Nap Integration) For today's Episode 378, we continue with our review of past episodes as we make connections to prior learning with whatever it is that we are currently working on this year. I'll create a roadmap at the end of this season so this pathway will make sense to us (I hope!) as we piece together important parts of our success puzzle and begin to bring them to life. As we review these episodes, you'll notice that around the time of the pandemic, around 2020, our interviews took a turn towards health and wellness, and to stay on track, I created a framework of our Top 5 Health Staples on Episode 87[ii], which eventually evolved into our Top 6 Health Staples when we added stress reduction to help us to boost our physical and mental health. This week, we're going back to one of my favorite interviews with the inspiring Dr. Shane Creado, who we first met on EP 72[iii] in July 2020 on the topic of “Sleep Strategies that Will Guarantee a Competitive Advantage.” Dr. Creado is a double board-certified sleep medicine doctor and psychiatrist who practices functional sleep medicine, integrative psychiatry, and sports psychiatry. He brings all of these specialties together to uncover the underlying factors that sabotage our sleep and then treats them comprehensively, helping people to achieve their health and performance goals with sleep at the forefront. To quickly review his background: Dr. Creado completed an undergraduate degree in physical therapy, went on to earn his MD, and then completed a fellowship in Sleep Medicine at the University of Wisconsin, recognizing the huge overlap between sleep and psychiatric issues. He believes in optimization, not normalization, and devotes his work to optimizing brain health in professional athletes, executives, and anyone interested in peak performance. We did a deep dive into his book Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes: The Cutting-Edge Sleep Science That Will Guarantee a Competitive Advantage on EP 71[iv] so that, when he came on EP 72, we could maximize our time together, by asking the most practical questions to help all of us move the needle with our sleep. How did I come across Dr. Creado? I first heard him on Dr. Daniel Amen's Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, since he worked closely with Dr. Amen at that time. At that point I was just beginning to learn how to track and improve my own sleep. This conversation with him actually happened about a year before our interview with Dr. Kristin Holmes,[v] VP of Performance Science at WHOOP, and before I began officially measuring my sleep data with a wearable device. A few months after this interview, Dr. Creado reviewed my brain scan results from Dr. Amen's Clinics and told me that my brain showed the same pattern as someone who was sleep deprived (which we shared on EP 84[vi]). That feedback sent me searching for what else I could do to improve this crucial health staple: sleep. This episode opened the door for me to meet many other leaders in health and wellness and ultimately led to our deep dive into the six health staples that are scientifically proven to improve our mental and physical well-being. This was all years before our popular series on The Silva Method[vii] (still our most-listened-to series on this podcast), where we covered how to improve our creativity and innovation with sleep, and also before our review of The Fisher Wallace Brain Stimulator[viii] that held the top spot for years (with the topic of improving sleep). But it all really began with conversations like this one—with Dr. Shane Creado—on achieving peak performance with our sleep. So let's go back to March 2020 and revisit what Dr. Creado had to say about sleep.   VIDEO 1 – Click Here to Watch Dr. Creado reminds us that every cell in our body has its own circadian rhythm. When we understand this, it becomes clear what we need to do to support healthy sleep. He explains that historically, human sleep has been polymodal—people would sleep a few hours early in the night, wake for a bit, then sleep again in the early morning, and often nap in the afternoon. This pattern lines up with how melatonin behaves in the body: it rises at night, dips, and then shows a slight rise again in the afternoon. So when you feel sleepy after lunch, it's not just the food—it's your melatonin rising and your brain asking for a recharge. Key Takeaways from Dr. Shane Creado Dr. Creado challenges older sleep-hygiene advice that says to avoid naps altogether. In his words, that's “pretty much wrong.” Naps can be incredibly helpful—as long as you're strategic about them: Know how long you're going to nap Be deliberate about when and where you do it These are the keys to strategic napping, which we'll explore more as we revisit this powerful conversation. But first, let's put strategic napping into action. Put These Tips into Action 1. Keep Your Nap Between 10–20 Minutes (Power Nap) Short naps prevent you from dropping into deep sleep. This helps you wake up refreshed—not groggy—and boosts alertness, memory, and mood. 2. Use the 90-Minute Cycle Only When Needed A full 90-minute nap allows you to complete an entire sleep cycle. Use this only if you're: recovering from sleep debt jet-lagged coming off a night of fragmented sleep Avoid these longer naps late in the day. 3. Nap Before 3:00 PM Align your nap with the natural melatonin rise that occurs in the early afternoon. This prevents nighttime sleep disruption and supports your circadian rhythm. 4. Create a Consistent Nap Environment Set up conditions that your brain recognizes as “rest time”: dark or dim lighting comfortable temperature (lower temperatures are recommended) quiet or white noise reclining or lying down if possible Consistency trains the brain to drop into restorative rest efficiently. 5. Use a Caffeine Nap (If It Works for You) Drink a small amount of caffeine (like green tea or half a cup of coffee) immediately before a 10–20 minute nap. The caffeine kicks in right as you wake, giving you a double boost. 6. Set an Alarm Helps you avoid drifting into deep sleep and waking up groggy. This trains your brain to trust short naps and prevents oversleeping. 7. Observe Your Afternoon Melatonin Dip If you feel naturally sleepy between 1:00–3:00 PM, this is your biological nap window. Don't fight it—leverage it (if you can). 8. Don't Nap to Escape Stress Use napping as a performance tool, not an emotional coping mechanism. If you're lying down to escape anxiety, use breathwork or a 5-minute mindfulness break instead. 9. Track Your Sleep Response Everyone's nap sensitivity is unique. Track how naps affect your: nighttime sleep alertness mood work performance training or athletic performance If you want to dive deep, measure it: WHOOP, Oura, or any wearable can help determine your best nap duration and timing. 10. Combine Naps With Movement A short walk before or after a nap enhances the circadian benefit and clears residual grogginess. PUTTING THESE TIPS INTO ACTION: By now, we've all heard that napping is not a sign of laziness—it's a strategic tool for combating the sleep epidemic we're facing. Sleep deprivation can impair the brain as much as being under the influence, which is why even short, well-timed naps can play a powerful role in restoring our cognitive performance, mood, and overall health. I had to look to see what Matthew Walker[ix] (also known as the Sleep Diplomat) had to say about napping, compared to Dr. Creado's view, since I was studying both at the same time. If you look at this chart I've added in the show notes, you can see that Dr. Creado's philosophy helps you to nap for performance; (which makes sense to me since Dr. Creado advises athletes) and Matthew Walker helps you to nap without harming your nighttime sleep. His advice also made sense to me as he advises the general population, and the statistics don't lie. Most of us are sleep deprived. Both sleep experts believe in the power of taking naps, and they both lean towards napping for less than 20 minutes for power napping that avoids grogginess. While not all work environments are built to support this research, that surrounds napping before 3pm, there are companies that are embracing this research, you can Nap on the Job at These 10 Companies[x] Google PricewaterhouseCoopers Ben & Jerry's Cisco Potato Zappos Nike Uber White & Case Thrive Global If you like this option, you're in good company. Many organizations are already embracing future-focused workspaces with this research in mind. Arianna Huffington, now the founder of Thrive Global, has been one of the loudest voices calling attention to the sleep-deprivation crisis. She wrote the best-selling book The Sleep Revolution[xi] to highlight the science behind sleep and why our culture must change. Huffington points to research showing that naps boost the immune system, lower blood pressure, increase learning capacity, improve memory, and enhance our ability to perform complex tasks (Yahoo Finance). Companies adopting nap rooms and rest pods aren't being trendy—they're aligning their workplaces with well-established neuroscience and physiology. And this brings us full circle, because Dr. Shane Creado was emphasizing these same science-backed principles long before workplace culture caught up, showing us exactly how sleep—and even strategic napping—can become a powerful tool for peak performance. And here's where today's episode takes a powerful turn. We are going back to our MOST downloaded Series, The Silva Method, to now implement this method into Dr. Creado's tip for napping, to increase our creativity, innovation and productivity. The Silva Method & The 20-Minute Nap Where Creativity, Insight & Neuroscience Meet** Now that we know what to do from Dr. Creado's research—use short, strategic naps to support performance—the next step is to take this deeper and connect it to the most transformative tool that we've covered in our 7 years of hosting this podcast: The Silva Method. This is where the magic happens, as theory meets practice. What José Silva taught decades ago about guiding the brain into the Alpha state (a mental state of calm wakefulness, that is distinct from the high-frequency beta waves of a busy, alert mind) aligns perfectly with what neuroscience shows happens in a 20-minute nap. And it also explains why so many innovators—Einstein, Edison, Dalí, Tesla, Da Vinci—used structured micro-naps or “drifting states” to solve complex problems. They weren't just resting. They were deliberately entering the insight zone. Edison used metal balls to wake himself the moment he crossed into Theta (the brain state of deep relaxation that's a gateway to creativity, inspiration and new ideas). Dalí held a key over a plate for the same purpose. Einstein was known for multiple micro-naps throughout the day. Da Vinci mapped polyphasic sleep schedules to stay in that creative borderland between wake and sleep. They had discovered what both neuroscience and the Silva Method confirm: The moments between wakefulness and sleep—Alpha and early Theta—are the brain's most fertile ground for new ideas. **If you have not yet listened to the 4 PART SERIES on The Silva Method[xii], I highly encourage it as we do go into detail on HOW to start this practice, and learn how to train your brain to accomplish outstanding results that truly will shock you. How This Works? The Silva Method adds conscious intention. Before entering the Alpha, State you plant a question, problem, or intention—something that you want to solve, or learn more about. Then during the nap-like drift, the brain naturally reorganizes information, makes connections, and surfaces insights. When you return to Beta (full wakefulness), those insights often rise effortlessly. I've been doing this practice for 26+ years now, and I can tell you that it takes practice. In the beginning, I didn't have control of what was showing up on the screen of my mind during these short naps, and I had a difficult time understanding what certain things (or insight that were flashing on the screen of my mind) really meant. This will take practice, but it's well worth the time spent. A 20-minute nap and The Silva Method are using the same brain states—one intentionally, one biologically. Combined, they become a powerful creativity tool. Why This Works (Neuroscience + Silva) ✔ The brain enters Alpha/Theta — insight frequencies ✔ Cortisol drops — freeing cognitive resources ✔ The Default Mode Network activates — your “creative network” ✔ The nap resets your mental clarity ✔ The Silva Method gives the mind a specific task (whatever it is you are looking to solve). Together, they create a simple, natural protocol for breakthrough thinking. How To Use The Silva Method with a 20-Minute Nap to Improve Creativity? Here's a simple protocol that we can all use: Set an intention “Show me a solution for ___.” “Give me a creative idea for ___.” Enter Alpha (Silva Method) Use the 3–2–1 countdown or your preferred Silva relaxation method. Drift for 15–20 minutes You don't need full sleep—just hover between wake and sleep. Wake & Write Capture any images, ideas, feelings, or impressions immediately. This is truly one of the fastest ways to reset the brain, boost creativity, and spark intuition—because it aligns neuroscience with intention. The insights that you discover here are life-changing. Start writing down the ideas you “see” and “feel” and you will begin to find solutions to problems or ways forward in your daily life. VIDEO 2 Click Here to Watch Which brings us to our 2nd clip from Dr. Creado who reminds us about an important habit (that I have yet to master). Dr. Creado explains the deeper biological consequences of poor sleep with a powerful reminder: “If you immediately go to social media or your work emails as soon as you wake up, your cortisol levels are boosted even more. You go straight into danger mode and anxiety mode, and that's how you start your day.” He goes on to give an example many people don't realize the seriousness of: “Shift work actually causes fragmentation and breaks in your DNA. It sets people up for an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. The World Health Organization has even designated shift work as a possible carcinogen—a cancer-causing behavior.” Most people think a few hours of lost sleep just makes them groggy or irritable, but as Dr. Creado explains, the consequences go much deeper: “This goes down to your very DNA. Sleep is your anchor. It can stave off aging. It can prevent obesity and inflammation. It can boost your immune system. It can delay menopause. It can upregulate testosterone and growth hormone levels, suppress stress hormones, and even regulate your gut flora.” This section reinforces the core theme of your episode: sleep is foundational biology—not a luxury—and optimizing it has ripple effects across every major system of the body. Key Takeaways from Dr. Shane Creado's 2nd Clip Avoid social media and emails immediately upon waking. They spike cortisol and activate “danger mode,” increasing anxiety from the moment your day begins. Shift work is biologically damaging. It fragments DNA, increases risk of heart attacks and strokes, and is recognized by the WHO as a possible carcinogen. Sleep is not optional—it's your biological anchor. It stabilizes your entire internal system, including mood, hormones, metabolism, and immunity. Poor sleep accelerates aging. Adequate sleep can slow (and even reverse) biological wear, protecting long-term health. Sleep regulates critical hormones. It boosts testosterone and growth hormone while reducing stress hormones like cortisol. Your gut depends on your sleep. Quality sleep helps maintain healthy gut flora, which influences everything from mood to inflammation to immunity. Put These Tips Into Action Here are simple, science-backed steps you can start today to optimize your sleep: 1. Protect the First 30 Minutes of Your Morning No social media No emails No news Use this time for grounding: hydration, sunlight, breathwork, or light movement. Dr. Creado is far from the only expert emphasizing this point—best-selling author Brendon Burchard includes it as one of his core High Performance Habits, reminding us that how we start our morning sets the tone for our entire day. 2. If You're a Shift Worker, Control What You Can Keep a consistent sleep–wake schedule when possible Use blackout curtains and cool temperatures Nap strategically to offset circadian disruption Prioritize sleep hygiene even more than daytime workers (This population is often overlooked. It came up with Dr. Creado, as well as with our interview with Kelly Roman how many people with shift work should be given extra support). 3. Build a Nighttime Routine That Signals “Safety” to the Brain Dim lights 60–90 minutes before bed Reduce screens Use calming cues: stretching, reading, warm shower, or meditation Keep a consistent bedtime 4. Use Strategic Napping to Lower Stress Hormones 10–20 minutes in the early afternoon Set an alarm to avoid deep-sleep grogginess A “caffeine nap” can boost alertness if well-tolerated 5. Strengthen Your Hormone Health Through Sleep Consistency Aim for 5–8.5 hours per night Regular sleep schedules support testosterone, growth hormone, and metabolic stability 6. Support Your Gut Through Rest Quality sleep = more balanced gut flora Try to eat your final meal 2–3 hours before bed Avoid heavy meals late at night 7. View Sleep as the Foundation for Everything Else Instead of seeing sleep as something to “fit in,” shift your mindset: Sleep is the strategy that makes all your other strategies work better. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION — Episode 378 PART 1 of our REVIEW with Dr. Shane Creado Key Insights From Video 1: Your Biology Wants You to Nap Dr. Creado reminded us that every cell in the body runs on its own circadian rhythm, and historically, humans slept in multiple phases—including early afternoon naps aligned with our melatonin's natural rise. He challenged outdated sleep-hygiene rules that discouraged napping and instead showed us how strategic naps—short, intentional, and well-timed—can restore energy and boost performance. We covered practical strategies for making napping work in real life, from 10–20 minute power naps to full 90-minute cycles when recovery is needed, emphasizing timing, environment, and consistency. Napping for Performance vs. Protecting Nighttime Sleep To deepen this topic, we compared Dr. Creado's approach with Matthew Walker's. Both agree that short naps (under 20 minutes) offer the best everyday benefits, though their philosophies differ: Creado teaches you to nap for performance, especially for athletes and high performers. Matthew Walker teaches you to nap without disrupting nighttime sleep, focusing on the general population. And while not all workplaces support napping, many leading companies now do—Google, Cisco, Zappos, Nike, Uber, PwC, and more—reflecting research championed by leaders like Arianna Huffington, who has long warned that sleep deprivation is a cultural crisis. Naps, she notes, improve immunity, blood pressure, learning, memory, and performance. Organizations adopting nap rooms aren't following a trend—they're following neuroscience. Key Insights From Video 2: Protect Your Morning Brain In our second clip, Dr. Creado warns about a habit many of us (including myself) struggle with: checking the phone immediately upon waking. This single behavior spikes cortisol and sends the brain into “danger mode,” setting the tone for an anxious, reactive day. He also described the biological risks of shift work—including DNA fragmentation and increased risk of heart attack and stroke—conditions serious enough that the WHO classifies shift work as a possible carcinogen. His message was clear: Sleep is your anchor. It affects aging, inflammation, immunity, hormone balance, and even gut health. Dr. Creado reminded us that sleep isn't a luxury—it's foundational biology. When we optimize sleep, we improve every system in the body: our hormones, immunity, focus, mood, and even our longevity. And when we take what he taught and combine it with the intentional practice of The Silva Method, we unlock something even more powerful. A simple 20-minute nap becomes more than rest—it becomes a doorway into the Alpha state where creativity, insight, and intuition live. This is why so many innovators throughout history used micro-naps to solve problems. The Silva Method simply adds conscious intention. And when we pair intention with the brain's natural rhythms, we create one of the most reliable pathways for breakthroughs. And watch how your best most innovative and creative ideas begin to rise to the surface.   With that thought, we will close out this episode, and we will see you next week, with PART 2 of our interview review with Dr. Creado. We have only scratched the surface of our review of this important health staple of sleep. See you next week.   REFERENCES: [i] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #261 PART 1 of Apply the Silva Method for Improved Intuition, Creativity and Focus. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/a-deep-dive-with-andrea-samadi-into-applying-the-silva-method-for-improved-intuition-creativity-and-focus-part-1/   [ii] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #87 with Andrea Samadi on “The Top 5 Brain Health and Alzheimer's Prevention Strategies” https://www.achieveit360.com/the-top-5-brain-health-and-alzheimers-prevention-strategies-with-andrea-samadi/   [iii] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #72 with Dr. Shane Creado on “Sleep Strategies that will Guarantee a Competitive Advantage.”  https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/dr-shane-creado-on-sleep-strategies-that-will-guarantee-a-competitive-advantage/   [iv] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #71 with Dr. Shane Creado on “A Deep Dive into Dr. Creado's Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes”  https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/self-regulation-and-sleep-with-a-deep-dive-into-dr-shane-creados-peak-sleep-performance-for-athletes/   [v] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 134 with Dr. Kristin Holmes, VP of Performance Science from Whoop.com https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/kristen-holmes-from-whoopcom-on-unlocking-a-better-you-measuring-sleep-recovery-and-strain/   [vi] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 84 “Andrea's SPECT Image Brain Scan Results”  https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/how-a-spect-scan-can-change-your-life-part-3-with-andrea-samadi/   [vii] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #261 PART 1 of Apply the Silva Method for Improved Intuition, Creativity and Focus. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/a-deep-dive-with-andrea-samadi-into-applying-the-silva-method-for-improved-intuition-creativity-and-focus-part-1/   [viii] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 120 “Andrea's Personal Review of The Fisher Wallace Wearable Medical Device for Anxiety, Depression and Sleep/Stress Management” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/personal-review-of-the-fisher-wallace-wearable-medical-device-for-anxiety-depression-and-sleepstress-management/   [ix] https://www.sleepdiplomat.com/   [x] https://finance.yahoo.com/news/nap-job-10-companies-100300632.html   [xi] https://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Revolution-Transforming-Your-Night/dp/110190402X The Sleep Revolution, Published by Arianna Huffington April 4, 2017 [xii] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #261 PART 1 of Apply the Silva Method for Improved Intuition, Creativity and Focus. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/a-deep-dive-with-andrea-samadi-into-applying-the-silva-method-for-improved-intuition-creativity-and-focus-part-1/

Welcome to The Sleep Edit, the podcast that helps tired kids and parents sleep better. Each week, Dr. Craig Canapari and sleep consultant Arielle Greenleaf break down evidence-based strategies you can actually use. Why are nap transitions so confusing—and why do they so often derail nights? In Part 2 of our napping series, Craig and Arielle dig into the real-world challenges families face when moving from 3→2 naps, 2→1 nap, and eventually dropping naps entirely. Using concrete examples, sleep-need math, and practical troubleshooting, this episode explains exactly what to look for and how to navigate every transition with less stress. You'll learn • How to know when it's time to drop a nap • The signs of a nap transition vs. a temporary “nap strike” • Why total 24-hour sleep matters more than wake-window charts • What typical daytime sleep looks like for infants and toddlers • The sleep math behind transitions (high vs. low sleep-need kids) • How daycare schedules can derail naps—and what parents can control • Strategies for capping naps, shifting schedules, and preventing bedtime battles • When early morning awakenings actually signal too much daytime sleep Chapters 00:00:01 — Welcome & Episode Setup 00:01:07 — The 3→2 Nap Transition: When It Starts 00:02:48 — Biology of Sleep Drive & Late Naps 00:03:43 — Why Late Bedtimes Are So Common Now 00:04:59 — How Total Sleep Needs Shape Nap Schedules 00:06:32 — Wake Windows vs. Real Sleep Need 00:07:52 — Consolidated Naps & Nap Length Targets 00:09:41 — How to Use the Third Nap as a Bridge 00:11:06 — Example: Designing a 13.5-hour Sleep Day 00:12:59 — Signs It's Time to Drop From 3→2 Naps 00:14:45 — Why Transitions Are Messy (and Normal) 00:15:56 — The 2→1 Nap Transition: Age & Signs 00:17:46 — Developmental Milestones That Disrupt Naps 00:19:06 — Case Example: Drew (13 Months) 00:20:57 — How to Start the 2→1 Transition Step-by-Step 00:22:54 — Shifting Nap Timing & Early Bedtime Strategy 00:23:56 — Tracking Sleep: Apps vs. Diaries 00:24:53 — Why Smart Monitors Often Mislead Parents 00:26:50 — When Nights Get Worse Because of Nap Issues 00:27:59 — The 1→0 Transition: What Truly Signals Readiness 00:29:18 — Daycare Nap Challenges & Parent Options 00:31:56 — Capping Naps to Protect Nighttime Sleep 00:33:30 — Nap Strikes vs. True Transitions 00:36:06 — Early Morning Awakenings & Too Much Day Sleep 00:38:30 — Final Thoughts & The Greenleaf Windows Links Napping spectacular episode 1 CIO episode of the Sleep Edit Dr. Canapari's article on Le Pause Sleep training Period of purple crying Dr. Canapari's article on napping Dr. Canapari's article on sleep needs in children Dr. Canapari articles on the science of why children stop napping Arielle's website References Paruthi, S., Brooks, L.

Ep. 220 If you've been pouring from an empty cup, this is your reminder that rest isn't a luxury—it's necessary for healing and restoration. As women, we're taught to keep adding—roles, goals, responsibilities—until rest feels “unnatural.” During the Aligned Entrepreneur Pod-a-Thon, I sat down with Sleep Coach Soda Kuczkowski to name that conditioning, release the guilt, and practice rest as a pathway to healing and aligned leadership. We unpack why exhaustion became the norm and how to restore clarity, creativity, and peace with science-backed habits that actually fit a real woman's life.

If counting sheep worked, you wouldn't still be awake at 3 a.m. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano is joined by Michael Byrne for a deep dive into why so many of us struggle to sleep and how it's not just about noise machines, blackout curtains, or melatonin gummies.Michael shares the story behind his smart sleep mask, a device that uses neurofeedback and personalized audio to help the brain unlearn the patterns that keep it stuck in stress and sleeplessness. But this conversation goes way beyond tech. Lyndsay and Michael explore how emotional trauma, daily stress, and an overactive mind all contribute to restless nights, and why traditional “one-size-fits-all” sleep solutions often fall short.They break down how sleep isn't just a biological need—it's a deeply emotional one, too. From power naps to personalized sleep routines, this episode is about reclaiming rest as a critical part of healing, recovery, and functioning like a human being.Tune in if your mind races the second your head hits the pillow—and you're ready to finally get some real sleep.Find Michael Byrne Online Here:Website: getbia.com/Instagram: @bianeuroscienceFacebook: Bia NeuroscienceLinkedIn: Michael ByrneYouTube: Bia NeuroscienceFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Sleep Challenges(02:07) The Impact of Sleep on Chronic Pain(09:46) Understanding Neurofeedback and Sleep(18:42) Innovative Sleep Technology: The Smart Sleep Mask(28:15) The Science of Napping and Sleep Architecture(34:55) Conclusion and Resources for Better Sleep
