When I’ve had a few big weeks, particularly after travel, I’ll often arrive at the next weekend pretty tired.
I’ve learned that I have two options: (1) have a good nap and catch up on the sleep, or (2) operate in a low-grade stupor where I don’t feel I’m 100% present.
I’ve found it’s almost always better to pay the price of the nap. A little bit of extra rest drastically increases the quality of the rest of the weekend and coming week.
