Feel rested in just 26 minutes? Where do I sign up?
I’ve been exhausted since I got pregnant with my first child and it hasn’t let up. More experienced parents tell me I’ll sleep well once or twice over the next 30 years, and then I’ll start staying up to worry about my grandchildren. That doesn’t sounds promising.
When I heard about NAP26™ I was excited to try it. The claim is that you will feel like you slept 3 hours after 26 minutes, and since that’s almost exactly the maximum amount of time I have each day when both my kids are sleeping (on a very good day when the planets are aligned) it sounded good to me.
The idea is that you can energize and refresh without the drowsiness that comes from sleeping too long. NASA science has shown that a 26 minute nap improves alertness in pilots. If it’s good enough for NASA, it’s certainly good enough for me.
The website says “NAP26™ uses Binaural Beat Technology to train the brain to relax and to awaken without risk of grogginess. A scientific digital modulation process inserts precise pulses and beats that the brain hears. The difference in vibration between one ear and the other stimulates either deeper relaxation or alertness. You will feel like you slept for 3 hours in 26 minutes.”
The big question, though, is does it work for chronically sleep deprived parents?
Yes!
On the rare days when I get 26 minutes to myself, I am absolutely loving the NAP26™ system. Sometimes I fall asleep, most of the time I just relax, but I always feel amazing when the 26 minutes of heaven are over.
I think we’ve found what may be the best new mom gift of all time – sleep. Just make sure you also include the half hour of babysitting that goes with it.
Win it! We’re giving away a copy of the NAP26™ CD. To enter, leave a comment on this post before 11:59 mst on August 18/08.
Additional entries available – up to four per person. See contest entry information and rules.

Yeah! How great! This would be perfect on lunch breaks at work, after pumping and eating while pumping, that’s about all the time left anyway.
