Power Nap

Power Nap

At Peace Media
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 booklet jam packed with information.

Power Nap

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 sleep.

This program comes from the Power Nap Club founded by Anton Anderson.

Power napping is easy to learn. Just relax and listen, doze off and wake up refreshed, not eight hours later, but only 30 minutes later. I've tried it and it does refresh you. This is not to replace your regular sleep. You still need those hours in bed, but those harried, pressed for time and stressed, it could be the answer.

This method has been used by a lot of busy and'/or stressed people, from astronauts to business people and by stressed students.

Power Study

The second CD, "Power Study" consists of classical music designed to help the mind concentrate. It's great for students needing to study and some have admitted it's better than their usual choice of classical rock,

It works for adults, too, whether they are writing a report, working on the 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

This booklet, just over forty pages, is packed with information for teens and about teens. It covers issue 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.

Almost every page contains links to the web sites of sleep specialists, stress sites and relaxation sites. Other resources including books are included.

Relaxation CDs

The Power Nap is the product of At Peace Media. At Peace also carries a great assortment of relaxation music by Michael Benghiat with intriguing names including 'Harmony," "Sunlight" and "Oasis." Another collection, also my Michael Benghiat is specifically for health and wellness.

"Two Together" is designed for family relaxation and is a soothing melody of American folk music, songs like Shenandoah, Sweet Betsy From Pike and Home On the Range. This CD is produced by Stephen Cohn.

To order "The Power Nap Kit" or any of the relaxation or meditation CDs, go to The Power Nap web site or At Peace Media.
