But naps aren't just for the sleep deprived and work weary, they are an end in themselves - time out for restful contemplation and relaxation. An antidote to the stresses and strains of daily life. Twenty minutes a day of essential 'me-time' - to be used solely for the benefit of the individual. But it doesn't come easy to the uninitiated - taking time out for the self takes practice for many.
