How to Cat Nap

A cat nap can be useful if you've had some late nights and need to catch up on sleep, but if you cat nap in your bed you may fall too deeply asleep, which can leave you feeling groggy when you do wake up. Here's a tip to get your cat nap without sleeping too deeply.

• Lie on the floor on your back, legs stretched out in front of you, head on a cushion, placing your hands on your tummy.
• In one of your hands, hold a pencil upright.
• Close your eyes and relax.
• When the pencil drops it will wake you up, reviving and recharging you just enough to get through the rest of the day.
