Why You Should Take Naps | Health and Lifestyle

Filed under: Lifestyle — Sahar @ 11:32 am

I was delighted to know that National Napping day falls on March 14th. It made me want to look more into the benefits of napping and share them with my readers. The lovely people at Casper have prepared the info-graphic above which specifies exactly why we should all take regular naps.

If you are having problems sleeping, it has been found that CBD improved the symptoms of REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), a disorder in which a person acts out their dreams. RBD is associated with poor sleep and nightmares. A 2017 review also noted that CBDA may be helpful in treating RBD, and that it shows potential for treating excessive daytime sleepiness. Cannabis contains CBD which is a chemical that impacts the brain, making it function better without giving it a high along with THC which has pain relieving properties. Looking for a place to buy weed online? https://cannablossom.co/ is the public retailer of non-medical cannabis products and cannabis accessories. You may also want to look at the Delta Munchies homepage for other unique CBD products in the market.

My favorite is the catnap, it gives a fresh burst of energy afterwards, to me this is the ultimate purpose of a nap, if you want to help your body rest, you should check the many new products from the CBD Oil UK store. Unfortunately, i work ling shifts where i don’t get the chance to nap and hence fall apart early in the evening. I try my best to nap on the weekends even if for 30 minutes. This way I wake up refreshed and can spend a more delightful evening with my family.

Baker Launches A New Collection By Designer Kara Mann | Furniture

I was lucky enough last January to be present at the launch of the new Milling Road collection from Baker, designed by Kara Mann. Kara Mann is an interior designer based in New York & Chicago since 2005. A recognized stylemaker, Kara was called an “of-the-moment” designer by InStyle, and Vogue has appointed her a member of “The Vogue 100,” a group of influential decision makers and opinion leaders known for their distinctive taste in fashion and culture.

Mann’s work has appeared in Architectural Digest, The New York Times, Traditional Home, and House Beautiful, among others. She has served on several esteemed design panels, including the Details magazine panel at La Cienega Design Quarter and the Interiors magazine West Week Panel, both in 2010. In spring of 2015, Mann collaborated with Gwyneth Paltrow on a Goop pop-up shop in Chicago that showed off her playful, relaxed, yet sophisticated sensibility.

Mann’s first collection for Milling Road updates traditional materials with details that add a sense of edginess while still reflecting luxury via clean lines and timeless designs. Her pieces are architectural, purposeful, quietly impactful and refined, and reflect her love of simplicity and dedication to fine craftsmanship.
