Feeling drained in the middle of the day?
Navy SEALs swear by a 10-minute power nap trick that promises to give you a quick energy boost.
Dr. Joe recently shared this hack on TikTok, explaining how this simple technique works wonders for relaxation and alertness.
The setup?
The process is simple, lie on your back on the floor with your legs elevated on the edge of a bed or couch.
So, what’s the magic behind it? According to Dr. Joe, this position tackles two key issues.
“First, it reduces swelling in your legs and increases blood flow to your core, triggering relaxation,” he says.
“Second, limiting the nap to 10 minutes ensures you wake up in the light sleep phase, feeling refreshed rather than groggy.”
Short naps like this are backed by studies showing improved mood and alertness without the fog of deeper sleep.
