A mom faced challenges with an extensive to-do list and constant fatigue. Initially hesitant about napping due to guilt over lost productivity, she decided to experiment with morning naps after dropping her daughter at school. Surprisingly, these naps led to greater efficiency, enabling her to accomplish more and dispelling the belief that they wasted valuable time. Reflecting on her pre-parenting schedule, she recognized the rigidity of her current routine and embraced naps as a vital part of her day, ultimately enhancing her overall productivity and wellbeing.
When I tried taking naps, I was more productive, and they're now part of my morning routine.
The tired version of me might have gotten the work done, but it often happened more slowly. Within my trial period of taking morning naps, it became clear that the time I was sleeping was well-invested.
Before becoming a parent, my schedule was my own. As a parent, my schedule was mostly set for me.
I came up with all kinds of reasons I couldn't take a daytime nap, but they all boiled down to this: I needed to take full advantage of the time my daughter was in school to get things done.
