Poll: Who else is a power napper, how long on average, and when on average?
Time = 20-40 minutes, sometimes as little as 10 or as long as an hour. Sometimes skip a day. To cure east-to-west jet lag same day I run on excitement from arrival until out of gas a few hours later, then 2-hour deep sleep, then have someone force me to get up, then feel fine and stay up until midnight or 1:00AM, then wake up at the next morning rested and synced.
When = when I feel it, which is usually around 3:00PM +/- an hour.
After nap = totally refreshed, as if it was a full night sleep.
Full night sleep = around 6-7 hours usually, sometimes as few as three (rarely), sometimes as many as nine (rarely). The short nights or long nights work fine.
The main thing is just awareness and going with the flow (for me, anyway). You guys?
- sman 17y agoI nap for about 20 minutes at about an hour after lunch(usually 1 to 1:30 PM). If I had a 6 hour sleep cycle, I nap for about 40 minutes. I definitely can think and program better after the nap. I nap in my car. I drive out to a Publix lot and do it. I have tinted windows, so people seem not to realize I am napping in it. My real trouble is waking up early. In my office, my CEO shows up at 6 AM and everyone else shows up an hour after that. So I have trouble getting up at 7:30 but I am working on it.
