Millions of adults struggle with consistent, quality sleep and the new GymNation NapTime class was created in response to a growing sleep deficit. According to GymNation’s findings, just around one in five adults get an eight-hour night, and around one in five UAE adults sleep five hours or less.
NapTime is a phone-free, guided recovery session designed to help participants settle their nervous system and it unfolds in four phrases. The experience begins with gentle stretching to release tension, breathwork and meditation to quiet mental chatter, then participants can make the most of duvets, pillows, eye masks and more to rest.
As GymNation puts it, "if sleep is the foundation of performance, then it deserves real space in a training week, not just another reminder on your phone."
