If you nap with a pet. stroking their fur helps to lower stress, too. Of course, when they wake you up by jumping around, that increases stress and decreases napping time!

I nap with my little dog. You're right -- when they start jumping around it sure can wake you with an unpleasant start!

But a purring cat is a lovely nap aide!

My energy levels were really down today, since I stayed up too lat last night. I rook minute nap, and I felt much better.

When you are under a lot of physical or mental stress, a nap can do a world of good.

Off for a little morning nap. You could call it a cat nap, since my cat will be there with me.

Napping is especially useful if you are recovering from an illness or injury. Stressful situations can often be helped by napping. It is easier to cope with difficult situations when you are rested and energized.

If you are getting fewer than 7-8 hours of sleep a night, use napping to increase your total sleep hours.
