127.The Science of Napping: How Rest Boosts Focus, Mood & Manifestation

Lisa

Let me know what you loved about the episode!

Are naps really lazy, or are they one of the most powerful forms of self-care?

In this episode I am exploring the surprising benefits of napping. From cultural traditions like Spain’s siestas and Japan’s inemuri, to NASA’s research on power naps, you’ll learn why short rest breaks can completely transform your energy, focus, and mood.

I share how 20-minute naps give your brain the reset it needs, why a full 90-minute sleep cycle nap boosts creativity and memory, and how rest supports your emotional regulation and spiritual alignment. You’ll discover how napping nourishes your Root, Heart, and Third Eye chakras, and why giving yourself permission to pause is one of the most empowering forms of self-care.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why society has made us feel guilty about naps (and how to reframe them as strength).
  • The science behind 20-minute power naps and 90-minute sleep cycles.
  • How napping improves focus, productivity, and emotional balance.
  • The spiritual benefits of rest - raising your vibration and aligning your energy.
  • Practical tips for making naps work in your daily life.

This isn’t about laziness, it’s about alignment.
