The Story of the Development of Stealing Flow Power Nap from the creator, Douglas Prater
After reading Sarah Mednick and Mark Ehrman’s excellent book “Take a Nap! Change your Life.” I was inspired to add the practice of an afternoon nap to my daily schedule. The scientific research behind the myriad benefits of napping is solid, and the benefits are numerous and profound.
In Western culture, in particular, there’s still a cultural stigma around napping. I had some resistance, at first, to actually taking time away from my desk to “indulge” in a nap. I quickly discovered that napping wasn’t lazy at all… it was, like the research showed, a powerful life hack for many dimensions of productivity and well-being.
Give it up for the down state — sleep | Sara Mednick | TEDxUCRSalon (17:44)
I discovered that no matter how busy I was, or how much I had on my to-do list, napping didn’t “waste time that I could have been working”. Quite the opposite. Napping for 25 minutes made me more productive, more creative, less stressed, and happier. I’m a convert, for sure, and I knew that a Power Nap track would make a perfect addition to the Stealing Flow suite.
Since many people, myself included, can struggle to let go and quickly fall asleep in the afternoon, the Stealing Flow Power Nap track was designed with an incredibly potent entrainment protocol to make the transition from wakeful engagement to rejuvenating sleep an easy and rewarding one.
The daily practice of napping with the Power Nap track is deceptively simple, but it has the power to profoundly transform your life and your work. It certainly did for me.
Enjoy!

Love Power Nap!
I just listened to Power Nap after lunch as a rest. It was perfect! I loved feeling like there was a babbling brook over my head (I was out in the lounge chair in the sun) and loved the other parallel sounds, which were effective at keeping most of my thoughts at bay. Two thirds through I thought, I don’t want this to ever end, because I was so relaxed and it felt so good. And then in the last few minutes, when the speed picks up and whatever else, I felt myself energized and ready to go again. Perfectly perfect! ~ Heidi
