You will be 34% better at anything after a nap. This study was from NASA. Freaking NASA are studying naps, right? And the reason I can say 34% better at anything was because astronauts have to do loads of different things. So they were giving them 40 minute naps and then testing athletic endurance, cognitive ability, spatial awareness, all these different kind of things. And they found that you were better at pretty much anything, 34% better after a 40 minute nap. So if you are a doctor, if you are an athlete, if you are a life coach, if you are Vishen Lakhiani himself, you can be better at your life coaching, your doctoring, your athleticism and your Vishen Lakhiani ing after a 40 minute nap. This is all about life optimization, right? That's what a fest is about. Being better, more loving, more kind, more energetic, connected people. A nap can help you do that.
