Power naps

[Zep 0]

I start at 07.00 work through till 15.00 and always take a power nap (20- 40 minutes.
For me and my time of life ( I'm an old bugger) a power nap
does me a world of good.

What about you?


Edit to add. I live in the land of the Siesta.

About 20 minutes and I can go till midnite.
You know you've mastered the power/combat nap when in that 20 minutes you can go into REM, dream, and wake-up like you've had 8 hours sleep.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

20 minutes, wake up with indentations on your face from the folds in the bedding, drool, and your head totally fogged from the nap.

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

This. 20 minutes, I'm great. Anything more than 30, and I'm trashed for the rest of the day.

We have these weird massage chairs at work. They have massage programs that vary from 10 to 15 minutes. For some reason I can sleep while the chair is doing its thing and as an added bonus when the chair stops its program I usually wake from the interruption. I can get a really nice nap and it is much more effective then drinking gallons of coffee through out the day.

Your rights end where my feelings begin.

If I go to sleep, it has to be fore several hours. Power naps leave me feeling disoriented and almost hung over.

10-20 min is a good power nap, any more and it can be hard to get going again.

i try to take a power nap every day after work before the gym if i have time.

I work nights and sometimes I like to get an hour nap before going to work

Is an hour still a nap? when does a nap become sleep? 2,3 maybe 4 hours?

Don't really like 'em during the work day unless I'm sick or really didn't get enough sleep the night before. I tend to want to lie down longer than 20 minutes, so then I come back groggy.

But when I was on a combination of flexeril and vicodin last fall, I was grateful for the fact that I could work at home and steal into the bedroom for some lie-down time.

And I love a good weekend nap.

I have never been able to take a nap. It just screws me up the rest of the day. I go to bed about 10:30 at night and get-up about 6:30A.M.
