A nap is a short period of sleep during the day time period. We will face drowsiness during waking hours maybe after having the lunch or due to not enough rest. According to research, most of the peoples used to take a cup of coffee to sustain and "refresh" from sleepiness in the afternoon. A cup may temporary help you, but it is not a good idea for your long term of health.
From Traditional Chinese Medical view, your body is lacking of "Blood and Qi" (which is a Traditional Chinese Medical phrase) when you feel tired or sleepiness. If you insist to continue your activity during this period, the body will try to use the "blood gas" that stored in the body organs (especially from liver) to maintain your activity. Sometime, you will even feel ok even though no need to take any coffee after sustain for some time...... because the body is overdrawing the "blood gas" from your organs to maintain your activity. On the same time, your organs performance will be affected due to the withdrawal of "blood gas". Slowly, due to the low performance of your organs, your health level will drop and your skin aging will speed up as well.
I used to nap about 30 minutes every day. After napping, I found that my body and mind totally look refresh. My skin condition looks smooth as well. Some people find that even 5 or 10 minutes of nap is enough to feel refreshed (so it is depend on your situation). If you try to maintain a regular napping habit for few years, you will find that you always look younger than those who are in the same range of age with you. So next time when you feel tires, instead of drinking coffee, why not just try a nap ?
