A discussion about business ethics, character traits, integrity, and values

From The Ten Faces Of Innovation by Tom Kelley:

Luminaries from Thomas Edison to Winston Churchill have sworn by the rejuvenating powers of a good nap. Albert Einstein said that naps "refreshed the mind" and helped make him more creative. Brahms napped at the piano and da Vinci between brushstrokes.

Today, while the vast majority of corporations consider napping unconventional at best, science has come down firmly on the side of the power nappers. One Harvard study showed that a mid-day nap reduced "information overload." Naps appear to improve the brain's ability to learn a variety of tasks and consolidate memories.

Napping is not a fad. Biologically, there's a letdown after lunch and into the early afternoon. You can blunt it with caffeine, but sometimes there's nothing better than a ten- to twenty-minute nap.

With a good nap in the middle of the day, perhaps you could get two peaks, like having two moorings in the same day.
