In several other cultures, it’s quite common to see people taking afternoon naps. But in America – a society fueled by productivity, capitalism and that go-go-go mindset – taking a nap is still seen as “lazy.” And that’s damaging.
If we’re going to move more towards putting well-being before achievement, we have to remove the stigma around napping, because getting enough rest is critical to physical, emotional and mental well-being.
