How long should your naps be? Seriously.

  • The Power Nap:
    10-20 minutes, sleep is limited to a lighter sleep that enable you to ‘snap back’ waking up.
  • Sleep Inertia:
    30 minutes, leaves you with a nap-hangover for about 30 minutes before you feel any benefits.
  • Slow Wave Sleep:
    60 minutes.  Best for remembering facts, faces, and names. A deep sleep with nap-hangover.
  • Full Cycle Sleep:
    Lighter & deeper sleep both, REM sleep, dreaming stage. Lead to improved ‘procedural memory’.
    Tends to lessen nap-hangover.
