I _wish_ I could nap after hearing all the benefits, but for me it’s either doze off for five minutes and wake up feeling blah, or lie there for 10 minutes, MAYBE go to sleep for a bit and wake up feeling horrible. If I have light to anchor my circadian rhythm, I’m happiest waking up around 5:30-6:00 and going straight through, starting to wind down at 8:30. If I sleep later, I’ll end up shifting more towards naturally waking up around 10:30, going to bed at 11:30 PM and generally feeling not terrible but not great and slightly tired during the entire day. Luckily the light can be artificial that wakes me up — I use smart bulbs as an alarm.

You just need to get used to it, then you will feel horrible if you miss the nap. :)

If it doesn't come naturally don't worry about it. Not everyone is the same. It sounds like the most beneficial thing for you is probably what you're already doing. For myself my attentiveness and energy tend to slump later in the day if I don't so obviously I'm better off the other way around from you.
