| The power nap
http://lifehacker.com/5501942/how-i-...-the-power-nap Quote: |
Daniel Tenner has spent a lot of time thinking about (and taking) naps. What follows is his experience learning to master 20 minute power naps even though he normally takes 30 minutes to fall asleep.
| 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.

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.

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'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'll wait until the next evening before going to bed. It's just what I've always done, feel weird sleeping during the day.

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.
