There was an android app that monitored your breathing and motion when the phone is placed next to you on the bed. It claimed to wake you when you were in the right sleep cycle to wake up clear. I tried it as an alarm clockreplacements and it seemed to work…but it was years ago and I forget the app name
In 2k1 my company moved a telecommuter back inside; some management dork demanded it. He said “yeah, but I take a nap after lunch, and I’m gonna take a nap after lunch.” And he did. And we all heard and envied his ability to do so.
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.

Sleep Cycle
I’ve heard that, yes. There is a moment of grogginess for me. Maybe 10 to 15 minutes. But that leaves, and the rest of the day is like a fresh day.

Took one after your comment for 1.4 hours. It was nice!
During a summer intensive I studied all morning then napped all afternoon then worked out. That was the life.
It’s interesting that 30 minutes work for you.
I find 15-20 minutes work wonders. If I’m gone for longer, my body goes into deeper sleep and I feel like a zombie getting up.
