Climax, Michigan is on the route for a lot of my rides to Indiana. It’s 13 miles from home, and sometimes I make my first stop of the day here in the town park to make adjustments.
On a very hot Sunday in July 2006, I stopped when traveling in the other direction, on my way home, and took a nap on the picnic bench. It’s something I do every now and then on an all-day ride.
A picnic bench is not comfortable enough to sleep too long. My usual nap is a 20-minute one. It can be quite refreshing.
Today I learned from this Boston Globe article that a 20-minute nap “yields mostly Stage 2 sleep, which enhances alertness and concentration, elevates mood, and sharpens motor skill.”
Vindication, I call it.
