You have focused in on many things that newbies are unaware of, specifically the Candida Albicans issue. I love the discussion of qi and definitely feel a connection to Kombucha. If anyone is interested in making at home for free, here's an easy recipe. http://www.kombuchakamp.com/kombucha-recipe Thanks for spreading the Kombucha Love, Carl! :) Very nice and detailed look at Kombucha.

You bring up a good point — listen to our bodies.

I’m assuming your meetings are productive. Sometimes, meetings can be the best time for a nap.

I feel them coming and just give into them. I didn't used to do that. It seemed indulgent and lazy. Now I realize that it's the only way for me to continue being productive. Sometimes I only need a few minutes. Other times, I need an hour or more. My body knows and I try to listen. I also do my best to not schedule anything in the late afternoons. I'd hate to fall asleep in a meeting. :) I took a much needed nap this afternoon… same as almost every day. I feel them coming and just give into them. I didn’t used to do that.

If you nap too long, you may enter a deeper phase of sleep that is similar to nighttime rest. This could throw your circadian rhythm off balance. Napping too late in the day can also be disruptive. We're all unique. Maybe you have yet to find your ideal napping scenario. Try shorter naps, starting with about 10 minute durations, at some time between 2p and 4p. Another guideline is to try napping around 8 hours after you wake in the morning. If napping still seems disruptive, then maybe you're just not as lucky as the rest of us. Thanks for you comment. Leticia,

But for me, If I nap, I would not be able to sleep in the evening. Why is that? By the way, we enjoy traveling with your parents. We just came back from Israel with them.

It's uplifting when a neurophysiologist can relate to an Eastern point of view. I like the term, Napatorium. For it suggests a place where you can rest in peace... yet still get up in time for dinner. Thanks, Dr Exconde. It’s uplifting when a neurophysiologist can relate to an Eastern point of view.

I had read one other blog of yours and enjoyed that one immensely. This one resonates well with me not that I am a firm believer and practitioner of taking naps whenever needed, and also when possible, but also because of my background, training and experience. I am a Neurophysiologist with special interest in Sleep Disorders having established the first clinical Sleep Lab in Connecticut along with my affiliation with Yale. My family calls my den as my "Napatorium". They know where to find me if I am not on the golf course, or otherwise reading in my favorite nook. Loved your article. You presented it well and effectively. Congratulations on a job well done. Do send our regards to your parents and thank them for introducing you to us. More power to you ! fidel and Eppie Exconde Hello Carl,
