The Art of Napping….
Plent can be a tiring business. Frequent naps help to sustain stamina and restore zest.
The following panel of experts has kindly offered up their tips for the perfect nap.
The Deep Doze
This is my fav. I find it works best if I bulk up on berries, campers or picnickers for a couple of weeks in the fall and then find a cozy den. I can nod right off and somehow my inner alarm gets me up and good to go come spring. The key is to really pack in the fruit, carbs and proteins before dozing off.
The Cat Nap
My preference is a series of short but frequent “cat” naps- often up to a combined 18 hours during the dawn, day and dusk. Somewhere warm and comfy. Of course in between naps I snack and demand treats. This gives me the energy to be up all night partying, tearing around the house and jumping on my humans while they try to sleep.
The Power NapNow this is a real art. It requires the ability to drop off in the midst of whatever and where ever. It may require relentless practice but you’ll be rewarded in the end. Like the cat nap, it is usually of short duration and is the pause in a busy day that totally refreshes.
I just got up from a nap and I feel terrific. Thanks for the good thoughts Scotty!
ReplyDeleteNapping is great, particularly when you have had too many margaritas.

P.S. Merlot is going to be bringing a defamation suit against the author of this post as he maintains that he NEVER tears around the house at night and jumps on his humans. Of course, at 9 he is a much calmer cat.
I have been napping for the last 2 weeks - instead of learning how to comment on a blog - I think I got it! Now i have to figure out how to upload pics etc.
