A Heart Beating
Headline: Some advice to take to heart -- take a napThose who made it a practice of napping at least three times a week for a minimum of 30 minutes had a 37 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease compared to non-nappers.
Although, I wonder if this practice will dramatically increase the risk of getting your lazy ass kicked by your significant other because you have failed to do, well, anything.

I'm wondering if the time asleep takes away more of your life than dying younger. For example if the difference is between, say living to be seventy-two as opposed to seventy-seven, you have to subtract thirty minutes a day from the age you are now to see if you come out ahead.
Thirty minutes a day is fine, because you're talking about losing a week of time for every year. But if you nap two hours a day, then you haven't really gained significantly, and if you started the practice at age ten, you haven't gained anything at all.
And then too, as you mention, your spouse might kick your ass or set the bed on fire for being lazy. Hardly seems worth it, doesn't it?
You have a point, X, but the way I figure it I'm actually extending other people's lives by taking naps regularly. If I didn't, several people would've suffered an untimely death by now. ;)
Nothing like a little sloth! ;)
Right John, wouldn't have made the top 7 if it wasn't enjoyable. ;)
