Hello again on the very interesting topic of naps...once I was in a three day training this was a Saturday during the meal time or lunch some people started saying things like " I wish I could rest in my bed" or I feel so sleappy after eating, etc so when we came back to the place I told the this : We have half an hour to do exactly what we decide to do. Some participants sayed they wanted a meditation, we started that meditation ...for me it war nap time. I slept for 20 minutes and I was so happy this was the first time that I had a group that was able to be so honest and congruent regarding their needs. My mother is very good at falling asleep VERY fast! She can take 9 minutes naps and she asked me to wake her up and she asked me please wake me up again in 5 minutes and she would go back to sleep as soon as she finished the sentence. Amassing! And she wakes up also in seconds, she is really a special case! Adriana
