It’s a busy day for Kat, and she has already done many things. Before she continues her projects, she needs a rest… but just a short one. She plans to take a catnap so she has the energy to continue her work.
A catnap is a short, light rest. You might not even fall asleep during a catnap, but you will feel just a little better after you close your eyes. When do you take catnaps? Do you feel refreshed after only a little sleep?
