    Nana nap. Every afternoon if I can. Just a half hour power nap, and the difference it makes is phenomenal.

    I can stay sharp all afternoon, and right up to bed time, with just a very fast nap in the afternoon. I’m all for it.

      Every time I’ve tried 15-30 minute naps I was completely wasted afterwards. Powernapping isn’t for everyone I guess.

        There are phases of sleep that you pass through. Seems like you pass through the lighter ones relatively quickly and you’re getting dragged awake out of a deep sleep phase.

        Either give it a little bit longer (like 35-45 minutes) or try 10 minute catnaps.

      The worst part is how starting these things makes everything worse for 2-4 weeks until you get used to it and then doesn’t really bring noticeable returns for another 2-4 weeks.

      And the older you are before you start the longer it takes and harder it is to get going
