How to take a “power nap”
Source
✓ Napping can be refreshing but can also disrupt your circadian rhythm (the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle). To get the maximum benefit with the least disruption:
• Try to time your nap about 8 hours after you wake up.
• Try to sleep for around 20-30 minutes. This keeps you within the early, lighter
stages of sleep.
• Really sleep-deprived? Nap for a full sleep cycle of 90 minutes.
• If sleep problems persist for more than 2 weeks, contact a medical professional.
