There is a simple remedy— a daytime nap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSaved by the Siesta\u003c\/em\u003e explains how siestas work and the remarkable role they can play in overcoming the destructive effects on the brain and the body of a shortage of sleep, for a siesta is like a night's sleep in miniature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA daytime nap fulfils all the same functions as a night's sleep—hormonal, purifying, curative, consolidating, and reinvigorating. It also has the same therapeutic values: it helps us to combat sleepiness, pain, depression, weak immunity, stress, hypertension, excess weight, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut to take advantage of all this, we need to be aware of the siesta's subtleties—its various types; the correct body position to adopt; the times that are conducive to sleeping; the most effective duration; the stages of sleep that heighten awareness, cognitive performance, memory, and creativity; and how to get to sleep quickly and wake up without feeling sleepy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSaved by the Siesta\u003c\/em\u003e provides all this information, and more.

The same is true everywhere—in Sweden, the United States, Mexico ... A nap therefore appears to be the lifeline. According to the author, it can heal severe fatigue, and fight drowsiness, pain, depression, immune weakness, stress, hypertension, obesity, or cardiovascular disease. And he provides proof of this by citing the extensive research carried out on the subject.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e-La Recherche\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAn illuminating reflection on a health topic too often neglected—sleep debt ...
