Power Nap [peaceful piano music for studying, focus, stress-relief, anxiety, sleep music]
Музыка
Another calm and peaceful relaxdaily piano music session you can listen to during your day, while studying, focusing, reflecting, letting your thoughts run free, as a soundtrack during your ME time, but also as peaceful music to help starting your power nap or sleep. And of course also simply to relax and enjoy.
Title: Power Nap | Type: original calm piano music session
No huge philosophic exploration this time. Just a quick reflection on my personal power napping experience. I frequently do short power naps and also longer sleeps during the day if I feel it might benefit my mood, well-being, performance, or health in general.
A few words on PN (power naps) I found on the web:
“Still powerful and focused in the morning, often around noon, our energy levels drop. This is actually quite normal, because our biorhythm is most effective in the morning for many of us. The consequences are lack of productivity, imbalance, loss of concentration and creativity as well as increased stress hormone production.
When kept to about 10-20 minutes per day, power naps can make a great addition to a healthy lifestyle and promote a variety of benefits for those who take them.
Studies have showed that napping can boost mood, memory, and attentiveness. Taking a nap in the afternoon can help us unwind and release tension and can be an effective way to enjoy boosted energy, focus and concentration, increased attention, and mental clarity.
Naps should not be used as a substitute for getting the recommended amount of sleep each night.”
For me, there are days when I have so much energy, or zest for action, or some sort of pressure to get things done, that I don’t even consider a nap during day time. But when reflecting on my past years, I always felt better and more me, when I implemented more or less extensive rests, me-time islands, and yes, some power naps into my days. Last weeks I extended power napping to something longer: a short sleep during the day. I’m currently doing some sort of an experiment and pushing myself hard for 3 months to prepare for a local trail marathon. Will be the second marathon of my life. This time with some altitude and partly on rocky terrain. I chose a training plan that's let’s say a level above my current skill level. Well, that’s the Michael I am. Now what allowed me to keep continuing the partly hard training for many weeks, while being super conscious about my nightly sleep quality and nutrition intake as well (and also what not to take in), was additional extra sleep in the afternoon on a couple days. I believe this extra resting helped my muscles, tendons, and cardiovascular system to recover just a little more, before doing the next tough running session through hilly nature. This is not stretchable infinitely, our bodies have specific regeneration times after specific actions. But it shows me that in times when I need a little extra turbo for a project I have my priority on for a while, I can get that performance boost I’m after through more rest, through a more enhanced regeneration.
This idea could be translated to other human activities and endeavors. A student training their knowledge muscle in their chosen discipline for years might have a plan for how to regenerate and keep a healthy balance to perform at their best during a day, a week, a semester, but also a plan to survive the full span of their university time healthy, strong, and still with love for their chosen field. A mother or a father will seek a similar way to balance the needs of their kids, income generation, health, social, personal, and other needs. A CEO or board of a company that shapes the world, or a politician who takes their job serious (or anyone taking their job serious) might want to include daily, weekly, monthly, yearly breaks, rests, reflections to take a birds eye view on their progress, and to check if the direction of their ship is on track, or if it’s still the right direction the ship is sailing towards at all. And, to finally use the power nap analogy: between those longer super crucial (nightly) recharges, those quick splash and dash power intakes, be it energy in form of nutrition, rest (power nap), or interaction with nature or other humans can have that little extra energy impact that might enable us to the breakthrough were after, or simply to allow us to function the way we feel is right.
What do you think about power naps, shorter, and longer breaks? As always, I’m curious. Let me know in the comments!
I hope you enjoy the music,
💛 Michael (relaxdaily*)

Michael, For all the years you've given the world, I sincerely and completely tell you thank you. I apologize that I am not in a financial position to support you, but your music has been an unmeasurable blessing for all of us. Whatever God grants you and does with you, I pray you continue to have the spirit and will to continue with an obvious call to music and community.

YOu just confirmed what I've been doing. If I'm having a busy day and find I'm running out of energy I will set my timer for 20 minutes and take a quiet break. This us usually around mid-day or early afternoon. I will lie across my bed and tell myself it's okay because it is only for 20 minutes. I always arise from that refreshed. Sometimes I feel refreshed enough to start again only to discover it has only been 10 minutes. This is an important tool in my daily toolbox. And your beautiful music always helps me in whatever I am doing. Thank you for your music Michael.

Thank you for a wonderful composition and your thoughtful introduction. You know what has been said about …beautiful souls... "Wherever a Beautiful Soul has been there's a trail of Beautiful Memories" You & Your Musical Journey has certainly created this. 🌻 I hope you get to enjoy some beautiful and interesting sights and sounds on your marathon-run. 🌷For me, Napping, I generally fall asleep when I’m tired, however sometimes if I am working on something or reading a great book I force myself to stay awake that little bit longer. Sometimes I wake up and find my book still in my hands and lamp on 😊But the book is worth it! (Love the library in the background!) 🙏 I think my interest in collecting an assortment of old books has been resurrected. Charity stores sell books from $1 in my area so I’m fortunate. I can give them a new home, and I have just started cutting up cloth from old clothes to make book covers for some of my most favourite books, and to embroider a symbolic token, like a sunflower or rose on the cover. Have a great day and the same to all who read this. Bless. 🫶 🙏

Hello Michael! and thanks for the new session. Normally I don't write any comments or reviews, but this time it felt different... Power naps, well...I've just tried one yesterday :) My wife and our little boy were out playing when I came home from work, so I thougt this would be a good opportunity to take a power nap. So I turned on my Jbl speaker, went on KZread and ... there it was, your brand new session on the homepage. Opened a book, lay on the bed (or laid on the bed, very confusing) and slowly fell asleep. Power naps are for me a very very good way to really get refreshed and energized for the rest of the day. I read about power naps about 2 years ago and from then on I try to take advantage from every opportunity that occurs ... Sometimes I take a power nap in my lunch break at work. But most of the times I take a power nap in the afternoon, at home, after work. Everytime I put on some of your music or a bedtime meditation to help me focus on breathing and on my body. Without these I don't fall asleep so easly because my mind begins to go crazy. And everytime I would use the timer on my watch and set it for 15 or max. 20 minutes. It seems that more than 20 min. can disturb your night sleep. On Sunday mornings I go on longer runs (15, 20, 25 km). The power nap I take in the afternoon plays an important role on my recovery. And speaking of longer runs...may I ask you, what is the name of the race / of the trail marathon you want to enter in? Maybe would be something for me too :) this Sunday I'm running at the Allgäu Panorama Marathon. Viel Spaß beim Training and many thanks once aganin for sharing your music and your insights on different matters with us!

Hi Adrian! Thank you for sharing your positive experience with power naps. Great to hear they work for you too :) I plan to participate in the Heidelberg Trail Marathon late September. It has an elevation gain of 1800m (6000ft) and will be my first trail marathon. The first 5k there are kind of steep for what I’m used to, so I have a big respect for that run. Make sure to say hello when you start there too! I plan to start from the second or third row, if I get the chance to position myself there after warm up. Didn’t do a race in twenty years!
I always listen to your music when I study. Thank you for sharing your gift.

Hi Michael, so glad to find your new PN video. I'm in my 70's and find that I need that PN after lunch around 1 PM. This was great to listen to on my sun porch while resting in my recliner during my PN. I also find your music helpful when doing my computer work. It tends to slow down my thought process and I don't get as stressed when working on spreadsheets and budgets. The colors in this video really caught my attention too. That soft glow and candlelight is just perfect for napping. Thank you for sharing your talent, it is greatly appreciated.

I have commented on this channel before (and you responded). I found your channel when I was working on my master’s dissertation about 8 years ago. I then decided to go for a phd and your music kept me going plenty of times when I was about to give up - that was during COVID. Now my baby boy is about 11 months old, and he loves listening to this piece during his naps. Without it, his naps are really short, but it almost always improves when we have this piece playing in the room. Much love and respect from Hong Kong to you and what you do. ❤
Thank you for this as always :-)
This was something I needed to wake me up to this morning. I really love your music, Micheal because puts a smile on my face.
