¤Relieve migraines
¤Make you feel good all over.
¤Increase your on-the-job alertness by 100 percent.
¤Sharpen your thinking so you make more accurate judgments and
better decisions.
¤Ramp up your productivity.
¤Regenerate skin cells so you look younger.
¤Increase your sex drive.
¤Help you lose weight by altering metabolism and shifting chemicals that affect appetite.
¤Reduce your risk of heart attack, stroke, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, and other cardiovascular problems.
¤Lift your mood by bathing your brain in the neurotransmitter serotonin.
¤Speed up your ability to perform motor tasks, like typing, operating machinery, even swimming.
¤Improve your accuracy - in everything.
¤Improve the way your body processes carbs, which reduces your risk of diabetes.
¤Sharpen your senses so you take in what’s important in your environment - and screen out the 24-hour culture chatter that surrounds us.
¤Put your brain into its creative gear so you can come up with fresh ideas.
¤Trigger a naturally occurring hormone that blocks the destructive chemicals produced by stress.
¤Boost your ability to learn something new—and, better yet, remember it.
¤Improve your nighttime sleep by eliminating that wired feeling and thus shutting off the brain chatter.
¤Zap the need for drugs like caffeine and alcohol to manipulate your mood and energy level.
Note: Take a nap between 20 and 90 minutes before 4:00 pm regularly.
