Napping, Honestly
A clear-eyed look at naps: when they help, when they quietly steal from the night, and why sleep pressure matters. For the next three weeks, the default is to avoid them where possible; if a nap is unavoidable, keep it early, short, and not every day. Exceptions are named plainly, from shift work and new parenthood to medical advice.

Warm and clear, with an unhurried steadiness, a voice that settles a busy mind without ever rushing it.
