What is Worth Sustaining?

TFAs essential question for the 2010-2011 is a broad based question
around which a large part of the years work is organized. It helps to
focus work across the domains and is moral or existential in nature and
cannot be answered with a yes or no response.

As if we need another reason to enjoy a midday snooze, a growing body of
research suggest that napping helps improve memory. Think of a nap as a quick
reboot for your brain. Napping triggers a chemical process in your brain that helps us
remember things and learn new tasks.

Recent studies have found a connection between midday naps and improved
brain function. Even short naps, as little as six minutes, significantly improved a persons
memory. Most adults find that a nap improves their concentration and makes them more
alert.

Here are some tips for a restful nap:

•

Short naps are better than long ones. Some people feel refreshed

after only ten minutes, sometimes called power nap.

•

Dont nap close to your bedtime, napping to late in the day can affect

your ability to fall asleep.

Psalm 101
