I'm an all or nothing kind of girl. When I do get up before 7.30 a.m., I make myself the most productive b*tch.

If you need a nap, take one that's between 10 to 20 minutes for your energy to be restored.  A 5 minute nap or less gives no benefits.  Take a nap of 30 minutes or more and you'll go into sleep inertia where you'll wake up groggy.  What would you do with the new info you've learnt?  I'm for sure going to set some new goals for ...
