The nap is not a psychosomatic relaxation, but it is certainly a way to become aware of the need to practice a real relaxation session. That is why it should be part of our daily life. Many people believe that napping absolutely implies sleep. This is not true! The nap is essentially a rest of the brain. It implies a mental relaxation following a physical relaxation. It is not necessarily practiced in a lying position, it simply implies the ability to relax the muscles as much as possible and to be able to clear the mind. The siesta is therefore closer to relaxation than to sleep. The body must allow itself regular periods of rest. This prevents it from accumulating too much fatigue and also allows it to resume its activities more efficiently. This short, but deep relaxation appears to be a measure to avoid nervous fatigue. Recent studies have already proven that napping seems to have a protective effect on cardiovascular diseases.
