Power Napping: How To Fall Asleep Anywhere This is part 2 of my post from last week on how to design the perfect nap. Today, I’d like to continue by talking about how you can fall asleep no matter where you are. This is useful for napping in airports, couches, or at your desk if need be. The trick is to use sleep MP3s. They are so helpful (and far superior to a traditional alarm clock) for a few reasons. It’s too easy to make mistakes when setting an alarm for a nap. Some finals tips for the perfect nap: If you are sensitive to light, you may want to combine this with a sleep mask which will block out the light. Make sure you are as warm as possible, since just having cold feet or hands can be enough to prevent sleep. Finally, if you normally like to sleep on your side, and you don’t have a pillow handy, you may have to try sleeping on your back. Using these simple techniques, you will likely be able to fall asleep in most environments, and wake up ready to take on the day!

Analyze Your Flawed Beliefs to Achieve Your Goals Artist collective An artist collective is an initiative that is the result of a group of artists working together, usually under their own management, towards shared aims. The aims of an artist collective can include almost anything that is relevant to the needs of the artist, this can range from purchasing bulk materials, sharing equipment, space or materials, through to following shared ideologies, aesthetic and political views or even living and working together as an extended family. Sharing of ownership, risk, benefits, and status is implied, as opposed to other, more common business structures with an explicit hierarchy of ownership such as an association or a company. Artist collectives have occurred throughout history, often gathered around central resources, for instance the ancient sculpture workshops at the marble quarries on Milos in Greece and Carrara in Italy.
