What is the Power Nap Kit™? Why is it good for you?
It’s an easy to use product that helps you to take short naps. Why is that a good thing? More than 65% of teens and adults in the USA are sleep-deprived. Getting even 20 minutes extra sleep will make anyone feel better, have more energy, and be more productive.
Inside the package are two CDs (CD1 & CD2) and a booklet. (Set aside the booklet for later reference if you feel like it). You might consider burning the Power Nap Kit onto your home PC for easy use, and also burning it onto your digital music player. On CD1, choose one of the three voice-guided relaxation tracks for your first power nap.
While you listen to the selected track, try to relax and fall asleep. The whole point is to get relaxed enough that you fall asleep. You do not need to listen to the entire track. The less you listen the better, since the whole idea is to relax and fall asleep!
CD1 contains three tracks. Each one has a different approach to relaxation, and each Power Nap Kit user will prefer one track over the others – it’s just natural. Try each one at different times, and find out which one helps you fall asleep most easily and quickly.
On all three tracks, after the voice-guided session is over, relaxation music will continue to play. For users who have a difficult time falling asleep, they will be able to listen to specialized music for relaxation. After about 30 minutes, a chime will be heard repeatedly so you will wake up. Because the ideal power nap lasts for only 10-30 minutes. Sleep longer than that, and when you awaken you may feel groggy. But a short nap is ideal, and will leave you feeling refreshed, energetic and ready to do whatever is next on your busy to-do list!
As you become accustomed to using CD1 for your power naps, you may find it helpful to switch to CD2. On CD2, there is no talking, only the relaxation music with the chimes to wake you up again.
Use the Power Nap Kit to easily get more sleep. You will feel better, you’ll be more rested and more productive, and according to recent research, it might even help you to lose weight!

Power Nap Kit™ and Power Nap Club™ |

Q and A with Anton Anderson, founder, Power Nap Club™
Where did the term Power Nap come from?
When I was a student at Cornell University, one of my professors was James Maas, who put Cornell’s psychology department on the map with his research on sleep, and wrote a book called Power Sleep. It was Professor Maas who coined the term Power Nap and whose dynamic teaching really planted the seeds of interest in this subject in me. A Power Nap is a 30-minute exercise that yields the benefit of up to four hours of restorative sleep. The beauty of the power nap concept is that it is a natural ability and does not require as much training as meditation.
How is a Power Nap different from meditation?
Power napping differs from meditation in several ways. The primary way is in orientation. The Power Nap experience makes sleep the goal; the meditation experience does not. In fact, it actively discourages it. Having trained in both methods, I find the Power Nap a more natural way of finding rejuvenation. My experience, and that of my students, has shown that frequent practice makes for a well-rested and more energetic physical and mental life experience. The more you Power Nap, the better you experience and enjoy life and learning.
Describe the Power Nap sessions on the Power Nap CD in the Power Nap Kit™?
The Power Nap CD offers three different kinds of power nap experiences: guided relaxation through visualization of the body, tension and relaxation and a mantra meditation session. All three duplicate techniques I have used successfully in my Power Nap Club™ for the past two years. Each of the three sessions is accompanied by music from At Peace Media which my students found worked best for them along with my voice narration. At the end of each session, a bell or chime sound awakens you. You can nap for a shorter time but do not nap for more than 30 minutes maximum.
Can you describe the kinds of pressures and stress that teens today have to deal with?
Teenagers today are totally oversubscribed. I’ve been teaching for 36 years; it’s clear to me that the pressures on kids today are unprecedented in the history of adolescence. . . we are expecting them to function like executives of fast-moving businesses when they are only 15 or 16 years old. They have to constantly perform in the classroom, in athletics, community service and jobs. I see too many exhausted kids.
Is sleep deprivation a big problem for teenagers today?
Sleep deprivation causes accidents (more automobile accidents are related to overtired, sleepy drivers than drunken driving), health problems, aggravates stress and results in a shorter life span. While most teenagers need 8 1/2 hours of sleep to function optimally, the average 11th grader only gets 7.1 hours of sleep and many sleep even less, due to the demands of keeping up with pressures related to school, sports, peers and community activities.

“I want you to know that I LOVE your "Power-Nap"(Kit) series. It went straight into my iPod and I have now listened to it a number of times on the bus after a show and in hotel rooms, while trying to wind down after a gig and go to sleep. A wonderful idea, very calming, soothing and actually sends me right off to sleep with my headphones still on. Just what I need on the road.....truly a great idea and an accessory that will accompany me on ALL of my future travels. As I may have told you, resting properly is one of the biggest challenges that I face on the road, particularly with crossing multiple time zones. We can all use extra rest and any method that helps us unwind and de-stress has got to be an asset in the world in which we live.” Doane Perry, Drummer – Jethro Tull |

The Power Nap Kit consists of two CDs, "Power Nap" and "Power Study" plus a booklet entitled "Teen Stress." Do teens experience stress? You bet they do. What can I say? The CDs are powerful and the book jam packed with information. The first CD, entitled ‘Power Nap’ leads you through guided meditations and a series of relaxing music. In thirty minutes, you may feel like you’ve experienced three or four hours of sleep. The second CD, ‘Power Study’ consists of music designed to help the mind concentrate. It’s great for students needing to study. . . It works for adults too, whether they are writing a report, working on a budget or figuring out the work schedule for the coming week. It’s great for writers. I’m listening to it right now. Teen Stress, just over forty pages, is packed with information for teens and about teens. It covers issues like what teen stress is and how it works, to the top sources of stress, and that includes everything from school to world events. You can read about real teens and their issues and problems.

Sleep Disorders Guide, About.com
The Power Nap Kit is a modern technological tool which should benefit both adults as well as teens who suffer sleep deprivation. The material within this kit has been meticulously researched, tested, and proven successful.
It could become a cure for fatigued American teens everywhere.
Carole Muir, ForeWord Magazine,
Reviews of Good Books Published Independently
Concerns about sleep and stress are truly universal. Do you speak French? If so, you may want to visit the Largeur.com media website and peruse the article titled, “Le Marche de la Sieste” by Genevieve Grimm-Gobat. The writer recommends the Power Nap Kit an ergonomically sophisticated, reclining office chair and a special sleeping pad with lots of bells and whistles . . . of the three recommended sleep aids, the Power Nap Kit certainly seems to be the most-cost effective and portable.
The CD makes it so easy. All you need is a CD player and the lesson is all ready to go. I think it ought to be on the required book list for the kids to buy in the fall when they have to get all their books and notebooks. It would be great for those kids, it would be great for any teenager, any college student. It would really, really help them learn how to manage their stress. They can’t get rid of their stress in their life, it’s going to happen but they have to learn to manage it and not destroy their body and this would really help.

Einstein did it between equations, da Vinci between paintings, and Winston Churchill throughout World War II. John F.

“The number one block to good sleep is STRESS – it is the salient factor in most cases of insomnia. The levels of stress have gotten worse for teenagers today compared to say, 20 or 30 years ago. I think the concept of the Power Nap is excellent. Any time an individual begins to value sleep – which is enhanced by stress reduction – it will change their life.” |
