I read a newly released study today that found that a 30 minute nap three times a week reduces the chance of a heart attack by 37%. I just want to go on public record as supporting nap time.

It all comes back to circadian rhythm. I’m good for nothing in the afternoon. I think 90% of my creativity and productivity happens before noon! Some afternoons I feel like a computer that opens more and more programs so the processor slows down and eventually all the programs say “not responding.”

A ten-minute nap is like restarting my computer. It reenergizes me physically and mentally. What I’m trying to say is this: I’m pro-naps.

For what it’s worth, Jesus took a nap during a storm. That is the basis of my nap theology.
