Change Your Life Without Getting Out of Bed: The Ultimate Nap Book

Do you know someone is that is overstressed? Want to get them a book to help?I researched about 20 different stress books from my local library, and I found this one to be the best. Most books are too preachy for de-stress books. They talk about stress and it just stresses you out reading them! But this book is a pure pleasure to read. It's fun, and it makes you feel good about taking naps. And this is a fun book to share with others. It makes for a nice surprise gift to someone who is going through alot of troubles in their life.*taking my nap now*"My life is one long nap, punctuated by brief moments of activity"

I really enjoyed this book ... I agree with some of the other reviewers in that it is a little repetitive of earlier books. This did not stop me from enjoying it! I realize that SARK thought that naps were so important that they deserved their own book. I've been trying to convince my office to have "siesta" time daily, but no luck so far. Everytime I pick up one of SARK's books I become re-inspired. Great, although short, little book. Grab the book and settle down for a nap!

From ABC 20/20 to CNN and most medical publications we know that Americans are sleep deprived. That as women we are doing more and running on less fuel. SARK is an author whose BOOKS, (notice I said bookS) should be required reading for all women and especially those of us past age 40. SARK teaches in such a wonderful way about why, how and where we should take naps. That Europeans and Latin American neighbors know or have known for centuries that a nap is a gift we give ourselves if we want to live a happy, healthy and LONG life. SARK reminds us all that as children as later on as parents of children we know the value of naps is there, but that we simply need to be reminded to take one. I also think this ia a great first SARK book for a friend whom you want to get hooked on SARK as well as give valuable and in my opinion life saving help to. Why life saving? Because as I noted at the beginning of my review more people are being killed while falling asleep at the wheel while driving, and more women and men are suffering stress and other health issues that SARK and many medical experts say could easily be relieved with a daily NAP.

This book was SO funny! I remember as a kid pressing my cheek hard against the bedcovers during naptime so my mom would see the indentations and know I had slept...even though I hadn't. What a fool I was then not appreciating the value of a nap. This book raises the nap to a new level and challenges those who look at nap lovers like myself with disdain to rethink their philosophy (yea...right!). This one stays in the nightstand.
