As a retired outside salesman who operated from his home for 35 years we had what was known as the 12 to 2 rule between sales people. Do not call me between those hours.

(I've since learned that some of my colleagues have extended the rule to a 10 to 2 rule)

Believe me I had the greatest job in the world..

I have always considered the siesta to be Spain’s one indisputable contribution to mankind. I try to take a nap every day for at least an hour. It makes the afternoon so much more productive.

For you masochists out there, I once learned the technique for how to get all the sleep you need each day with just cat naps. And how to “power sleep”.

While seated, you rest your head on one of your arms on a table. Allow the other arm to hang down, with a pencil in your curled fingers. When you nod off, your fingers relax and the pencil hits the floor, waking you up. Doing this for a few minutes, eight times a day, is all the sleep you need. However...

Unless you absolutely have to stay awake to do something, you are going to be bored out of your mind. You will have such an abundance of free time that it will bug the heck out of you. The most I’ve done it for was two weeks. It makes you realize how *enjoyable* and pleasant it is to just lie in bed, even if you’re not sleeping.

As far as “power sleeping” goes, it is much simpler. Just learn how to sleep while sitting in a comfortable chair. It is far more restful than when you are lying down, possibly because your breathing is easier and deeper. One hour sleeping upright is worth about 2-4 hours of sleeping in recline.
