Are you working hard, building a business, and constantly feeling exhausted? Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is take a nap.
In this solo episode of Alien Eyez Photos Industry Talk, host Photographer Jackson (Steve Jackson), founder of Alien Eyez Photos Media, discusses the power of napping for entrepreneurs, the benefits of rest, and why recovery is essential to productivity and personal development.
Reflecting on his twenties, Jackson shares his experiences working multiple jobs, struggling with exhaustion, and recognizing the dangers of operating without enough sleep. From nearly falling asleep while driving to balancing entrepreneurship, fatherhood, a nine-to-five job, and media production, he explains how short power naps have become an important part of managing his demanding schedule.
The Power of a 15–20-Minute Nap
Jackson shares his personal approach to recharging: approximately 15 minutes of meditation followed by a 15–20-minute power nap. Through experience, he has found that his preferred nap duration falls between 14 and 24 minutes.
He discusses how brief periods of rest help him feel mentally refreshed and physically energized, while longer naps sometimes leave him feeling groggy.
For creative entrepreneurs, business owners, working professionals, and anyone balancing multiple responsibilities, this conversation challenges the idea that productivity requires constantly pushing through exhaustion.
