    你好 你的文章非常精彩,我同意你的看法。在中午如要有30分小睡,要比喝一杯咖啡还要重要,这对身体是非常有利的。 谢谢 Ya

    What about people who have trouble falling asleep? I am usually tired but I have a lot of trouble actually sleeping. For people who can fall asleep quickly, power-napping might be effective... but for others it seems not very feasible.

    I didn't realize that napping was this good for you. I've been doing it for years now and I used to feel guilty because it feels like I'm cheating. But oh well, I guess it's really an edge.

    I agree 100%. I have been taking naps at mid day for over 30 years now, and they really do help.

    Dear Dr. Mao: Last year I heard that it is not healthy to eat pineapple, but they did not say why. Could you tell me the reason ?. Thanks in advance for your time. Regards, Martha Nieto
