New Website Set to Revolutionise Powernaps

An online music website has been launched which is set to revolutionise the way we relax. The creators of Powersnooze.com have taken the formula of a standard online radio station and added an interesting twist - an extensive music library lovingly created to aid sleep and relaxation.

Leeds, United Kingdom, January 01, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Visitors to Powersnooze.com can select music they like from an extensive library of soothing tracks and because the music is accessible online, it is ideal for busy people such as office workers wanting to catch a quick nap. There is also a wide selection of children’s audio books available on the website, perfect for those busy parents who have an internet connection at home and understand the soporific value of a good bedtime story.

Powersnooze.com creator, Paul Cashon, took time out from his busy schedule to teach us the art to a successful “powernap.”

A powernap is a short sleep or “nap” used to revitalize the body, enhance alertness and improve concentration. In order to be effective, a powernap should end before the mind enters the deep sleep stage of sleep. Deep sleep is the third stage of the normal sleep cycle, where brain waves slow down and is typically after around 45 minutes. Waking up from this stage of sleep will interrupt the sleep cycle and result in “sleep inertia” a phenomena which gives us that characteristic “groggy” feeling. So the key to a successful powernap is limiting the length of your nap to less than 45 minutes.

It is important to avoid heavy meals prior to your short powernap. You should stay clear of sugary drinks and caffeine at least two hours prior to your session. For the most effective powernap, find a dark room or use eyeshades as the darkness as darkness will stimulate the body to release melatonin, a powerful sleep inducing hormone.

Paul’s Tips for taking a great powernap;

Avoid sugary or heavy foods and caffeine two hours prior to sleeping
Try napping just after lunch and avoid late day naps
Make sure the room is dark or try using eyeshades
Sleep 5-20 minutes and no more than 45 minutes.
Divert that mobile. They will call back, it’s only 10 minutes
Encourage your colleagues to snooze or tell them not to disturb you
Set an alarm to wake you up
Try using relaxing music to help you fall asleep.

Remember to be sensible and don’t attempt to Snooze if you need to be alert for any reason.
