The app Gentle Wakeup<\/strong>\u00a0has a power nap<\/strong> feature which is\u00a0suppressing\u00a0background noises<\/b> by playing low frequency natural sounds. Listen to ocean waves which decrease gently<\/strong> in sound volume over time. When the timer is over the app will get you back from your nap by playing the sound of birds twittering<\/strong> and increasing the sound volume slowly.
\nIf you power nap in a dark room then you can also benefit from a true sunset and sunrise simulation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In case you do not have the app yet you can download<\/strong> it from here:<\/p>\n

Get new energy during the day<\/h3>\n

A short daytime nap can boost your memory, cognitive skills, creativity and energy level<\/strong>. It can also reduce stress, improve perception, motor skills and accuracy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Snooze quickly<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Watch the sunset to clear your mind<\/strong>. This helps to calm down<\/strong> and prepare your body<\/strong> for a after-lunch sleep. Use earphones or headphones to blend out noises<\/strong> from the environment. The ocean waves cover a wide frequency spectrum so that other noises get unnoticed by the brain. The sound of the ocean waves will decrease in volume over time. This will create a meditation kind of effect<\/strong> and take you to a light sleep phase.<\/p>\n

Wake up gently from the catnap<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Slowly increasing sound of birds twittering<\/strong> will get you out again of the light sleep phase. This pleasant sound signals your brain that there is no reason to speed up the wake up process<\/strong> and you get the maximum refreshment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Power napping is possible everywhere<\/h3>\n

Whether you have a lunch break<\/strong> from hard work, are traveling by bus, train or plane<\/strong> or just had a bad night’s sleep you can refresh best with a short nap<\/strong>. An afternoon nap of 10-30 minutes will keep you in the light sleep phase<\/strong> so you do not feel groggy<\/strong> when you wake up.<\/p>\n

Combine power napping with guided meditation<\/h3>\n

You can switch the sound to a guided meditation session.\u00a0Listen to the calm voice which will tell you how to clear your mind and relax your body in a 10-minute session. A 5-minute session will follow which guides you to the light sleep phase and repeats itself until you finally nap.<\/p>\n
