Power Naps!

http://www.nih.gov/news/pr/jul2002/nimh-02.htm

The term power nap has become part of the American lexicon. Research shows that a midday nap that lasts 30 minutes to one hour can reverse information overload and improve the ability to learn a motor skill. Thirty-minute naps appear to prevent on-the-job burnout, while the hour-long snooze actually boosts performance back to early morning levels. The theory is that during sleep, the brain is able to store the information it’s holding onto as memory. A midday nap allows us to file everything away that we’ve learned to that point, and we awaken with an empty storage space.
