Caught napping: the benefits of napping include enhanced ability to problem solve
Posted by: Diane Levin in Uncategorized
Sleep, as Shakespeare once observed and insomniacs know, possesses great restorative powers:
Sleep that knits up the ravell’d sleeve of care,
The death of each day’s life, sore labour’s bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great Nature’s second course,
Chief nourisher in life’s feast…
The death of each day’s life, sore labour’s bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great Nature’s second course,
Chief nourisher in life’s feast…
Macbeth II.ii
