Hello beautiful souls.
This is June Bee and welcome to a Power Nap.
Thanks for being here for another in the series of Power Naps with June Bee.
Today we have only limited time,
60 minutes to be precise,
And need to take a quick nap.
So let's begin.
Let's gently drift off for this nourishing 60-minute nap.
Get into your best relaxing position,
Making sure you are comfortable.
Close your eyes,
Relax your muscles and slowly imagine yourself melting into the bed.
Now let's go to your breathing,
Slowing down the heart rate and let's take some breaths together.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Last time,
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Settle in now,
Get comfortable.
Let go of everything that happened today and let's relax together.
Let yourself focus on my voice.
If your mind wanders,
It's okay.
Bring it back to the sound of my voice.
Keep your breathing slow and steady.
Let's go on our journey together.
Let's gently drift off for this nourishing 60-minute nap.
The 60-minute nap can include,
For some,
A full sleep cycle,
Which can lead to improved memory consolidation and problem-solving skills.
Both short and long naps can increase alertness and be very useful in all types of recovery.
Take into account that sleep becomes deeper the longer you sleep,
Reaching the deepest level in about an hour.
Did you know that longer naps,
Such as those lasting more than 30 minutes,
Can cause the sleeper to enter deep sleep?
And deep sleep may even start sooner in people who are sleep-deprived.
So,
When is the best time of day to take a power nap?
For most people,
The best time to take a nap is either just before or during the post-lunch dip.
You know,
That time when your tummy is full and you feel like doing nothing fast.
That's the best time to take a nap.
The post-lunch dip is the period of decreased alertness and productivity often experienced after a midday meal.
As a result,
A brief snooze around 12.
30 p.
M.
Or around 2 p.
M.
May reduce late afternoon sleepiness.
Taking a power nap around this time might also help prevent your nap from interfering with your nighttime sleep routine.
So today,
Let's check out stage 3 of sleep.
Stage 3.
Non-REM sleep.
This final stage of non-REM sleep is categorized as the deep sleep our bodies rely on to feel refreshed in the morning.
Deep,
Slow brainwaves known as delta waves begin to emerge during non-REM stage 3 sleep.
A stage that is also referred to as delta sleep.
This is a period of deep sleep where any environmental noises or activity may fail to wake the sleeping person.
Sleepwalking typically occurs during non-REM stage 3 sleep.
It is more likely in the early part of your night's sleep.
Children and young adults are more likely to sleepwalk than older adults.
During non-REM stage 3 sleep,
Your muscles are completely relaxed.
Your blood pressure drops and breathing slows.
You progress into your deepest sleep.
So are you drifting off now,
Listening to my voice?
Can you feel yourself floating into a nourishing bath of joy,
Peace,
Comfort,
Bliss?
Let go now and I'll be back after you have replenished yourself.
Welcome back.
Our 60-minute power nap is over.
As you open your eyes and gently come back to the room,
Let's give thanks for this time together.
Have yourself a great day and looking forward to seeing you again soon for another in the series of Power Naps with June B.
Goodbye.
