Sensei,
We know that you are strong proponent on
napping for strength and muscle mass, but what
about this, what are your views on napping for
someone like me who is a trader inthe Financial
Markets?
Yes, I am a big proponent of all types of performance
whether it is strength or mental acuity, one of my
favorite people on this planet is perennial World
Power lifting Champion Ed Coan, who does naps on a
daily basis, and feels that it is a crucial part of his

As my friend and mentor Dr. Koppen says, the

generals who can sleep are the ones who win. Both
Alexander the Great and Napoleon have been know to
nap before going into battle. Churchill credited
napping as being one of his best weapons while he
was battling Hitler The key for successful napping is
15 to 30 minutes only. The scientific literature tends
to support those limits. Beyond 30 minutes, the
person is too groggy to perform mentally properly.. In
Special Ops and SWAT teams, the ability to nap at will
is considered a desired traitas long as someone stays
upto wake you up..

I am the type of guy who can nap sleeping length wise

on a clothes line, inside a busy shooting range, at the
new born nursery, no amount of noise or postural
discomfort will prevent me from sleeping. Most
people envy that figt. Obviously not everyone has the
luxury of catching a quick snooze at work, unless you
work for either the Canadian or Italian government,
but even if you only do it on the weekends, it still will
make a significant difference on all types of mental
performance.
What
about
caffeine

instead? Actually the two together yield the best

results. Drink the coffee, then nap. Yes, it takes away
for the caffeine in the coffee to take effect. Research

If you like Starburst

candy, you will love
these chewy, healthy,
raspberry flavored
treats sweetened with
xylitol. This natural
and beneficial
sweetener has a
glycemic index of 7
and supports the
health of teeth and
gums.

shows that combo yields the best result in increase in

mental performance.
P.S. If you want the scientific basis to support the
caffeine/nap combo, read:
[1] Corrie Pikul, 02/27/2012, Oprah magazine, 6
More Health MythsBusted!, Retrieved Aug.
29, 2014, Drinking a cup of coffee and then
immediately snoozing for 15 minutes was more
effective at reviving a wiped-out person..

P.P.S. I use the caffeine/nap combo to get ready for
training when my traveling schedule takes a beating
out of me.
