Here’s a quip to get your mind thinking

When billionaire adventurer Steve Fossett broke the record for around-the-world solo jet flight last March, he slept just 60 minutes in 67 hours of flight time — 60 minutes broken into two- and three-minute naps.

You see, we can do more if we can lessen the nap time but the only nap time that we have, is a quality nap time. So just how do you get this? I’ve read the article and it doesn’t tell you precisely what to do but it gives you some tips in getting a quality sleeptime. From what I understand, it’s better to have 20 minutes or less of nap if you want to wake up feel refreshed.

Here’s something you HAVE TO MEMORIZE though.

Mednick’s most recent research also shows that power naps can lift productivity and mood, lower stress, and improve memory and learning. In fact, Mednick has found through MRIs of nappers that brain activity stays high throughout the day with a nap; without one, it declines as the day wears on.

Tell that to your boss when he catches you decorating your desk with your saliva.

Here’s what I’m seeing now

I’ve tried refreshing the page but the minutes didn’t change.. *sigh* anyway, it’s a relaxing picture… makes me want to open my socks, shoes, shirt and just throw some sand into my colleague’s hair… aiya.. wake up wake up!

Anyway, I got the link from Earthcam’s 25 Most Interesting Webcam of 2005.

On the 4th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…

Four Calling Birds

The Four Gospels: 1) Matthew, 2) Mark, 3) Luke, and 4) John, which proclaim the Good News of God’s reconciliation of the world to Himself in Jesus Christ.

* Well it’s certainly good news that the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day celebration went on without any major incident in our neighbouring country Indonesia or any other parts of the world. I can’t imagine going to church and worrying whether I’ll still be alive when the mass is over.

We should be grateful that we, as Sabahans (specifically those in KK), the only worry we have when we go to church is to find vacant seats in the church (thanks to those who comes only on Christmas and Easter only).
