At Live & Smile, we don’t only care about your oral health, we care about your overall health too! With the holidays right around the corner, there is so much to do. Festivities, family and friends dinners, hangouts, and family trips; it can all get really crazy, so what are you doing to make sure you are in a good place for your health?

Taking breaks is the key, but sometimes we need more than just a break, we need a nap. 

Napping offers a wide variety of benefits for adults such as: 

• Relaxation 
• Reduce fatigue 
• Improvement in mood 
• Increases your alertness
• Better memory 

To get the most out of your naps you want to make sure to keep them short because the longer the naps are the more likely you are to feel groggy waking up. Plan your naps out to have the most production out of your day. Napping after 3 pm can cause some interference with your night time routine, so plan accordingly. 

Giving yourself the space and time to recharge is great for your health in order to bring productivity to your life. Not only is it great for your physical health but your mental health too. Who says naps are just for kids?
