The power nap

Good article. I do this often on Saturdays before going out. I can be dead tired and without any drugs be up till noon the next day after one.

so is this about the dog power nap

power nap only works if you had very little/poor sleep the night before
usually it'll take a few hours to enter REM sleep (effective deep sleep)
however if you had little REM sleep the night before you'll brain will "cheat" and enter REM almost immediately after closing your eyes.

at least its what i learned in my pharmacology class lol
a really helpful tip if you're a uni student or work graveyards.

hmm..

is pizizz worth it?

yeah i rest my eyes
it helps

i can only really take "real" naps if im exhausted, and im in between work or on a bus or something i can pass out then i MUST get up to get back to work... happens a lot in the military, get a 5min break and i just pass the fuck out.

but at home im unable to nap at all. well i can rest, but it usually takes 30-60min to fall asleep so it really sucks. and if i fall into deep sleep in an environment like home (where i don't have to get up)... then I will not get up

many times i've napped after dinner before partying... but i just end up sleeping till the next day. hell even on work days. i can pass out after dinner and wake up and it'll be the next morning lol. I love sleep.

power naps are awesome. crawl into bed, close all the blinds, and when you wake up you're good to party.

I do that all the time. Nap for a bit get up and I'm good to go till noon the next day :thumbsup:

i do that too but i often get a power 5hr sleep instead

i love sleep. I can fall asleep anywhere and anytime :)

and when I wake up it's 12 hours later. lol.

power naps are the good, i never sleep on time or enough

If you find some alternate means of acquiring it without sacrificing any monetary resources, it's worth it.

I've been trying it for the past 5ish nights to fall asleep to and I've been dreaming and remembering my dreams every night. I don't usually sleep that well.

I wish, I don't think I've had a nap in the last 20 years. If I stay up all night I still won't nap. I'll wait until the next evening before going to bed. It's just what I've always done, feel weird sleeping during the day.

when I nap I'm too lazy to wake up...so my naps usually lasts 3-4ish hours...

naps usually screws up my sleep cycles....
as well it wastes my day

power naps are great during exam season

You know you are aging when naps are what you look forward to in your day. Naps kick ass

oh hell ya, In the winter I love it when I dont get the best sleep thinking about comming home getting baked and passing out right away. It's the best thing curled up in your bed right after work in the winter.

^ not really a nap, but one of my fave things to do in the winter on my day off is set the alarm for 430 am, get up walk around the house, have a few puffs, and get back to a nice warm bed lol

had a power nap today. felt so refreshed. :thumbsup:

able to sleep a beauty, not able to sleep on the other hand...my god


there are some nights that i know i gota wake up early the next day for work, and i just cant fucking sleep.
its brutal

Me too. Meetings are the best. Sleep with eyes open. Took me a long time to perfect it. I've even learned to nod and smile while asleep.

Don't fight it when that happens. Just close eyes and let the body rest.

any tips old man? LOL

I can't take naps because I can't sleep at night. I've had 12 hours days with like 4 hours of sleep but I'll never take a nap.

I just took another power nap while typing this post up. so fresh now!!
