“Sensei,

We know that you are strong proponent onnapping for strength and muscle mass, but whatabout this, what are your views on napping forsomeone like me who is a trader in the FinancialMarkets?”

Yes, I am a big proponent of all types of performancewhether it is strength or mental acuity, one of myfavorite people on this planet is perennial  WorldPower lifting Champion Ed Coan, who does naps on adaily basis, and feels that it is a crucial part of his

training process. You don’t recover, you don’t grow.

As my friend and mentor Dr. Koppen says, thegenerals who can sleep are the ones who win. BothAlexander the Great and Napoleon have been know tonap before going into battle. Churchill creditednapping as being one of his best weapons while hewas battling Hitler The key for successful napping is15 to 30 minutes only. The scientific literature tendsto support those limits. Beyond 30 minutes, theperson is too groggy to perform mentally properly.. InSpecial Ops and SWAT teams, the ability to nap at willis considered a desired trait…as long as someone staysup…to wake you up..

I am the type of guy who can nap sleeping length wiseon a clothes line, inside a busy shooting range, at thenew born nursery, no amount of noise or posturaldiscomfort will prevent me from sleeping. Mostpeople envy that figt.  Obviously not everyone has theluxury of catching a quick snooze at work, unless youwork for either the Canadian or Italian government,but even if you only do it on the weekends, it still willmake a significant difference on all types of mentalperformance.

Whataboutcaffeine

shows that combo yields the best result in increase inmental performance.

P.S. If you want the scientific basis  to support  thecaffeine/nap combo, read:

[1] Corrie Pikul, 02/27/2012, Oprah magazine, 6More Health Myths—Busted!, Retrieved Aug.29, 2014, “…Drinking a cup of coffee and thenimmediately snoozing for 15 minutes was moreeffective at reviving a wiped-out person..”

P.P.S. I use the caffeine/nap combo to get ready fortraining when my traveling schedule takes a beatingout of me.
