Take a Daily Performance Break With Pzizz

November 9, 2008 By Elizabeth

I love naps. LOVE THEM. I take a nap EVERY DAY. That’s right! When Kaitlyn sleeps, I sleep. I get up early, I go to bed late, and that nap in the middle of the day helps keep me going. But I also have a secret- about 13 years ago I took a class offered by my employer on dealing with work-related stress, and one of the things we learned was how to relax our bodies using guided imagery techniques. I’ve been practicing it for so long now that all I have to do is mentally start the sequence and I’m asleep in a few minutes.

I think many parents feel “guilty” about napping during the day, but they shouldn’t. Studies have proven that even 15-20 minutes of sleep a day, often called a “power nap”, can do wonders to refresh your mind and body. If you could use a “power nap” during the day, I have a website you should check out. pzizz is a unique, downloadable software application for Mac and PC that creates audio soundtracks that help you to nap during the day or get to sleep at night. The wonderful thing is that you can tailor them to suit you and they’re different every time!

In as little as 15-20 minutes, pzizz can help you control your day. It clears your brain, improves focus, lowers stress and lets you get on with your work by helping you take a short performance break. There are two modules, one for an energizing break during the day and one to help you relax and fall asleep at night (or during the day if you can take a nap). Even with my years of practicing relaxation techniques, I found myself relaxing even more deeply by listening to both modules.

You can download a free 15 minute trial of pzizz, and to purchase it starts at just $29.99. I received a free download of the modules in exchange for telling you about pzizz. I’m glad they contacted me because I am really enjoying using the modules to help me fall asleep faster and feel more relaxed and rested!
