We will explore how using power naps in college can benefit your mental and physical health. We will also do a demonstration of how to do an effective power nap. *REQUIRED item: Bring a pillow, blanket, or a yoga mat to participate in the power nap demonstration. You will be turned away if you do not have something for the power nap and the hard copy pre-work. *PRE-WORK: At the start of the workshop, turn in your answers to the following questions in hard copy format (i.e., TYPED or legible handwriting). You will be asked to attend another workshop if this is missing & if you are more than 5 minutes late (so come 5 minutes early). This will take you 10-20 minutes to complete, so plan ahead accordingly 1) On average, how many hours of sleep do you get in a night? 2) Describe what you do to gain energy when you are low in the day. 3) Read Dr. Sara Mednick’s short Chapter 3 “The nap manifesto: What napping can do for you” from this website (http://saramednick.com/htmls/pdfs/Take_a_Nap_03.pdf). Out of the 20 scientific reasons Dr. Mednick provides you, which one would help you live a healthier life in college? Explain why. 4) From Dr. Sara Mednick’s interactive nap wheel (go to http://saramednick.com/htmls/book/napwheel.htm), determine what time you should nap based on when you woke up.
