If you have trouble relaxing into nap mode, consider buying a guided-meditation CD. The Power Nap Kit ($25, At Peace Media, http://www.atpeacemedia.com) for instance, includes two CDs, each featuring three guided relaxation segments designed to lead listeners into a light sleep.

I want you to know that I LOVE your "Power-Nap" series. It went straight into my iPod and I have now listened to it a number of times on the bus after a show and in hotel rooms, while trying to wind down after a gig and go to sleep. A wonderful idea, very calming, soothing and actually sends me right off to sleep with my headphones still on. Just what I need on the road.....truly a great idea and an accessory that will accompany me on ALL of my future travels. As I may have told you, resting properly is one of the biggest challenges that I face on the road, particularly with crossing multiple time zones. So, I thank you so much for that gift......it is really useful. We can all use extra rest and any method that helps us unwind and de-stress has got to be an asset in the world in which we live.

While at the International School, we filmed Jessica and her POWER NAP CLUB™ enjoying a brief nap with the help of your CD narrated by Anton Anderson. Even with us there filming, I do believe the kids actually fell asleep...quite amazing. . . It is a wonderful tool for these kids.

Just acquired the Power Nap Kit. The morning after I received my CD's I was on a business trip and not sleeping well. I woke up 2 hours earlier than I should have and couldn't go back to sleep. I was exhausted and knew it was going to be a bear of a day made worse by my lack of sleep. So I decided to try an early morning power nap. It worked like a charm! I think all hotels should make these accessible to their customers! Love the CD's and love what they do for me. Thank you!

The Power Nap Kit consists of two CDs, "Power Nap" and "Power Study" plus a booklet entitled "Teen Stress." Do teens experience stress? You bet they do. What can I say? The CDs are powerful and the book jam packed with information. The first CD, entitled ‘Power Nap’ leads you through guided meditations and a series of relaxing music. In thirty minutes, you may feel like you’ve experienced three or four hours of sleep. The second CD, ‘Power Study’ consists of music designed to help the mind concentrate. It’s great for students needing to study. . . It works for adults too, whether they are writing a report, working on a budget or figuring out the work schedule for the coming week. It’s great for writers. I’m listening to it right now. Teen Stress, just over forty pages, is packed with information for teens and about teens. It covers issues like what teen stress is and how it works, to the top sources of stress, and that includes everything from school to world events. You can read about real teens and their issues and problems.

For those of us who are trying to cram more and more into each day, power napping is an incredible productivity tool. It may seem counter-intuitive
but powering down for 20-30 minutes actually pays off 20-30-fold in terms of extending your productive output. I use the techniques and tips outlined in
the Power Nap Kit regularly. This is a "secret tool" that can give you the competitive edge no matter where you operate - the corporate world, entrepreneurial endeavors, at home, long-haul driving, international traveling, even partying! You might say it's changed my life!

The CD makes it so easy. All you need is a CD player and the lesson is all ready to go. I think it ought to be on the required book list for the kids to buy in the fall when they have to get all their books and notebooks. It would be great for those kids, it would be great for any teenager, any college student. It would really, really help them learn how to manage their stress. They can’t get rid of their stress in their life, it’s going to happen but they have to learn to manage it and not destroy their body and this would really help.

I tried this product after reading about it in a magazine. The article was about getting more rest. I was so tired at work and didn't know what to do about it. I tried this in my car at lunch time and absolutely loved the effect it had. I have a lot of trouble falling asleep just for a nap and this really helped me!

Our testers were skeptical, but they were up for the challenge and gave this unique CD set a whirl. The results? Those skeptics were converted to born-again nap-a-holics. The blended use of music and spoken word to guide the listener through imagery allows them to relax and let go. Our testers reported that it really got their juices flowing. This is a wonderful system to keep handy when you need to reenergize and refocus. Perfect for anyone with stress, a heavy workload, or a ton of studying. Read review >

KIDS FIRST!™ KID Juror Comments:
Older students understood it best. "Treats us like adults, with respect." "I guess someone is thinking about how stressed out we are over all the work we have to do. That's good." "I want to get better at losing stress." "Helps relax me." "It's peaceful."
