    F.1.Use of English - Adventuretravel&Powernaps

    The passage discusses power napping, which involves taking short naps of around 25 minutes to dramatically improve alertness. Power napping is an effective strategy, especially for those with demanding schedules like business executives or mothers of babies. However, certain conditions must be met for power napping to have its maximum effects, such as timing naps correctly to avoid disorientation upon waking. With practice, acquiring the habit of power napping quickly becomes easy, though initially relaxation may be more important than actually falling asleep. Power napping should not replace a proper sleep routine.
