    I loved your segment on the sleep session. I am one who also does not get enough sleep at night, but I was also wondering what are you think about taking naps or what is Nikki’s take on naps during the day for one who works in early shift like me, my work shift is normally 4:30 a.m. or 5:00 a.m. till 2:00 p.m. till 2:30 p.m. …..

      Hi Summer! This is such a wonderful question! I am not Nikki or Allen, but I do work here on the website and have had similar discussions with various mental health professionals. This article summarizes some great advice that seems to be the common recommendation from professionals if you’d like to take a look! https://www.thensf.org/the-benefits-of-napping/
