No matter what you’re doing this Christmas Eve – I hope your day is filled with love and laughter.
And more than that, I hope you get a little time to yourself… because days like this can be flat-out EXHAUSTING!
There are meals to plan, rooms to clean, tables to set, and people to please… and those last few gifts sure aren’t going to wrap themselves.
When all is said and done, it’s enough to make you YEARN for bedtime…
But why not try something else instead?
Research out of Greece has confirmed the healthful benefits of one restful, rejuvenating trick… and if you’re worried about your ticker, you’re going to want to pay extra-close attention…
Because this simple trick LOWERS blood pressure as well as mainstream meds!
All you have to do is take a mid-day snooze.
In the study, researchers from Greece’s Asklepieion General Hospital outfitted 212 adults with around-the-clock blood pressure monitors and split them into two groups.
Members of the first group started taking mid-day naps. Members of the second group did not.
And by the end, researchers recorded INCREDIBLE changes in blood pressure!

This Food Could Be Growing Deadly Tumors
Compared to those who stayed awake all day, people taking daytime naps saw an average 5.3 mm Hg drop in systolic (top) blood pressure – or what you’d expect from a low-dose heart drug!
Plus, every additional hour of napping reduced the average 24-hour systolic reading by 33 mm Hg!
That’s just insane…
So, why not spend some of your well-earned retirement years curled up in bed or on the couch?
Heck, why not sneak in a snooze before today’s holiday festivities?
You shouldn’t sleep every day away, of course. Staying active has repeatedly been linked to better weight loss, improved cognitive performance, and more – but don’t feel guilty about getting a little mid-day shuteye.
(Especially on busy days like today!)
It may be the key to saving your heart.
