[quote=Anonymous]I have been the nanny for a now twenty-month-old since his birth.  He is extremely active and we walk everywhere sometimes four to five miles a day.  I work ten hour days.

Lately, when he naps, after I do his laundry, ironing, cleaning and cooking for him, I have been lying down on the floor of his room and taking a fifteen to twenty minute nap.  It has been amazing in terms of my energy and productivity for the rest of the day as well as giving me a full hour more of awake time at night.  I feel as though I have discovered the secret to greater energy!

I was never a happy napper prior - I always used to sleep too long and wake up cold and hungry.  But this 15-20 minute power nap on the floor of his room has been truly amazing!  I wake up happy and energized and never sleep too deeply (maybe because I am on the floor).  No wonder the Japanese do this!

Obviously if my employers had any issue with this practice I wouldn't do it but my DB was a pilot in the Air Force and told me that the power nap has been proven to increase concentration so my employers are more than fine with it.

Just thought I would pass it on to other nannies.  [/quote]
