This article emphasizes the importance of rest not only as a necessity but as a radical act in today's fast-paced environment. Through both \"big rest\" (sleep) and \"brief rest\" practices such as yoga, conscious breathing, and meditation, caregivers can reset their nervous systems and mitigate the physiologic effects of chronic stress. The autonomic nervous system's shift from sympathetic (stress-driven) to parasympathetic (rest-driven) dominance is key to this process, offering mental and physical restoration. Regular engagement in brief rest practices can significantly improve mental health, reduce stress, and enhance cognitive functions. The article advocates for caregivers to integrate these rest practices into their routines, aiming to promote both personal well-being and professional effectiveness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101233,"journal":{"name":"The Journal for Nurse Practitioners","volume":"21 3","pages":"Article 105316"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143148789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
