Mom: Make Time for Napping
" By this, of course, she meant that working women in particular need to make sure they get a good eight hours of deep sleep in order refresh their bodies and minds for the next day.
This is certainly true for young mothers who take on the responsibility of raising small children, and perhaps duties of the home and job.
If there is no time for a full night's rest, however, what then? If you are currently staying at home with your small child, you were likely advised to take advantage of every quiet moment.
You may be tempted, while the baby is sleeping, to whittle down a to-do list or reach for that book you've wanted to finish for months.
Nice as it is to have the free time, it's advised also to nap when the baby naps.
Your body and brain will thank you for the time invested in rest.
It is important for women with this opportunity to nap because where small children are concerned, late night diaper changes and feedings are the normal for the first few years.
While sleeping in phases may not be the ideal situation for the family with a daylight schedule, having a few hours of shuteye during the day is better than nothing at all.
When you're trying to operate on a low charge, the fatigue will show in your work.
The book will keep until you find a babysitter, but for now take the nap.
Your sanity will thank you later.
