Just lay down with the lights off will still give you some rest. It might not be as good as a full 30 min nap, its still better than being up and alert. For me, knowing this actually helped me sleep during naps cause I was less stressed about actually trying to nap. What I do is set the alarm for 20-30 min and just laydown. You'll still feel better at the end so don't stress about needing to fall asleep and just let yourself relax.

If you ever feel like you’re tired after or didn’t get anything out of the nap, try random intervals for the timer too :) Sometimes I’ll set the timer for 17 minutes or 27 minutes to eek out just a few extra minutes of that sweet rest, depending on how exhausted I am or if I need to really grind out some work on personal projects. It gets really easy to tailor your nap to the day, but I really just keep it below 30 minutes, and usually more than 7 minutes.

One of the old sayings in the Army was "nap early, nap often". I got so good at it, I could nap in the back of a duece and a half on an unimproved road with 20 other troops flopping around me. I will say though, that when that truck stopped for any reason, I would be wide awake.

In college they said the trick was to hold your keys out over your bed as you napped. Once you started to go too deep then you would drop your keys which makes a sound & wakes you up. Since your sleep cycle isn’t always 20 minutes on the dot, they swore by this

I think staying awake regardless of having a “tired brain” or worse, “an exhausted brain” is bad. Meaning, if you don’t take a nap when you’re sleepy and consequently have to push yourself to stay awake later on when you’re really tired, I think this is mentally unhealthy. I’m no scientist, but I’m well aware that we are animals, just like cats and dogs, and the natural instinct of all animals is to go to sleep whenever they’re tired. Because we are more intelligent beings, we’re able to reason and override our natural desires to take a nap or sleep. I don’t know much about the consequences of sleep deprivation, but one can be sure that they’re not just in harms way when not getting enough sleep at night, but also when operating with a “tired brain” when they needed a nap and didn’t take one. To conclude, I will state that surely not all humans require naps. Not all humans experience fatigue in the later hours of the day. For those who are fresh, regardless of the time of day, certainly a nap is non-consequential. It’s certainly important though for others, such as me, ha ha, at 59, a cancer survivor with ongoing health issues. A nap for me is huge.

Me: *goes to sleep for 10 minutes ish* Seconds later: *impossibly tired*

Whenever I take a nap, I wake up with a disgusting headache, feeling of pressure in my head, numbness in my face, and I feel dizzy and disoriented for the rest of the day.

That explains a lot I remember passing out in my reading class in middle school and I was only sleep for 10-15 minutes and woke up and I felt great xD

Oh that's why like a 20 minute power nap feels pretty good

I always end up having “naps” that end up for hours lmaoo

Biphasic sleeper here, I do two sleep cycles of an average of 3 hours each. Once at around 8-9pm and again at 5-6am, this for me feels way better and well rested; I still get 6 hours of sleep but broken into two segments. Otherwise I won't conk out normally until 4am trying to cram it all at once and usually wake up tired.

and for the record studies show we are actually biphasic creatures. we are meant to sleep in two separate periods through the same span of 24 hours, once for about 6 to 8 hours and once for about 90 minutes sometime in the middle of the day. this is why many cultures also have such a period specifically dedicated for doing this, and why you may feel a "crash" anywhere from around 2 to 5PM.

Also, naps could disturb your inner clock sleep cicle, meaning that the body starts to make meletonin (the sleep hormone) later than usual. Leading to you not being sleepy when you should be.

So like 20 minute nap is good enough?

Hello from Spain. Here it is said that there are two types of siesta (nap): 1. Salvador Dalí style: take a dessert spoon with your finger. When you start to fall asleep you will relax your fingers, the spoon will fall and the noise will wake you up: time to resume tgw day. 2. Camilo José Cela style: put your pijama on and go to bed 😂

My naps take usually around 1,5h to 2h, waking up naturally, and most of the time I feel awful

how dare you for telling me when and how long i should sleep! I sleep whenever, wherever I want!!

And take 1.5hr naps between 1-3 in the afternoon as to not affect your sleep routine!

Gosh. His face is so relaxing to look at.

My naps are full blown sleep sessions lmao

I remember when they did a long form version of this topic. It's why I try for those 20 min naps till this day.

I'm not a caffeine drinker but if I need to take a *brief* nap, I usually drink a cup of warm black tea shortly before my nap. It takes about 20 min to feel the physiological effects of the drug. When that moment comes, nap time is over.

He's talking about this like I would be hearing my alarm go off. I don't

I got this trick from my vocal teacher and it has been LIFE changing. 20 or 90 minutes is the only amount I nap for and it’s so much better

You’ll know your friend is in deep sleep if it’s followed by REM which is rapid eye movement. If woken up during REM sleep that’s the time your body is repairing itself so you will feel more tired and exhausted

I typically don’t nap, but when I do, I tend to put in earplugs and wear my eye mask like I do every night. Sometimes I don’t sleep, but I’ve found doing this does make it easier for me to nap. Plus I don’t hear my dogs very loud snoring in the background.

That makes sense why I woke up more refreshed when I took naps before performances during my school’s most recent musical (I was in the pit orchestra) I would nap for a half hour and wake up feeling better Now if I could just do that every time, life would be great

Your just solved a question I didn’t even know I had!! When I would be on long car rides, I’d start to drift off and for a fraction of a second, I couldn’t hear. Now I know why that happens! It’s my brain getting rid of unnecessary noise

I rarely nap because it takes me forever to fall asleep and when I napped in college I couldn't fall asleep at my normal bed time.

For some reason I always wake up feeling sick after taking a (probably too long) nap

That works!! Tried it. Slept for 20-30 min I was feeling refreshed. The times where I slept for more than an 40 min - and hour was the ones where I ended up sleeping for hours and hours and would wake up from confusion 😭😭

This is true. I take naps whenever I get the chance during highschool. Fortunately for me I can fall asleep if I want to under 5 mins (probably due to fatigue from school work), and naturally waking up 10/15 mins after, I'm ready for the next class. And it wasn't just me, but most of my classmates did the same

that’s why if you pull over because you’re too tired to drive safely, it’s recommended that you sleep for at least ~1-1.5 hours before driving again!

I remember one army training camp where I was beginning to be dead tired of having had so little sleep for so many days and being cold most of the time (it was winter) since I was so tired. Then came a day when it was our squad's turn to train first aid which happened in the sports hall of a nearby barracks. It was a blessing to be inside for a while but the best part came when our trainer looked at his watch after he'd taken us through the program and said we were ahead of time and there was a good twenty minutes for us to nap if we wanted. We immediately lay down on the wooden floor and went to sleep. It was almost a miracle how much better I felt after that short sleep in a warm house.

Ah that's why under 30 minutes is the sweet spot for power naps.

I took a nap, I woke up feeling a little annoyed but not groggy, after 1 hr and 20 I was able to complete a paper, and some smaller assignments. The words were just flowing out of me!!

A little late to this video but I have recently changed my whole diet and no longer need to nap. I eat super clean now and am not tired all the time, almost no sugar, super low sodium (trying for zero of both). I eat a lot of raw veg and replaced meat protein with eggs, etc. (I still eat some meat and fish). It has made a world of difference in my life. Just a thought. I used to sleep all afternoon, every afternoon and sometimes straight though to the evening.

Great topic that everyone can contribute much to, so here's my two cents. I use to take 20 minute naps in my car after eating my lunch for the three years I worked at a particular job, my last ten minutes of the hour lunch to walk back in, wash up, go to the bathroom, etc., and it was the perfect amount of time for me. People use to comment on how much energy I had every day, and of course being young helped. It was decades ago, but I never remember having to set my watch. After that, and as I got older, I can't take naps now, cause always feeling so exhausted and not sleeping well at night can have me conking out and sleeping for too long and when I wake, feel worse than I did before. Unfortunately, one thing I'm horrible at in life is sleeping. And more unfortunately, I think it's the same for a lot of people. I hate taking pills, which adds to my problem, but I know others who take too many pills and have issues because of it. I have a friend who goes to sleep every night on his back, sleeps through the night and is well rested, so I know it can be done. But no matter what methods I try, can't get it right. Oh well, time for my nap, I'm terribly busy. 😊

It’s so true! I fell asleep after… not important. Anyway, I slept for around 27 minutes, when I woke up it felt like I had been asleep for a while, I was super surprised to see it had been under 30 minutes.

this is why I put on an hour of silence split by vine booms

No one : My mom who sets her alarm for two hour naps

Oh great, I probably entered deep sleep when I fell asleep in English class today

I figured this all out way before I knew it was a thing :) I would wake up at 6 am before school, write for an hour, then take a 10-15 min nap, and I would feel great. For anyone aspiring to be a writer or trying to write a novel, it works wonders.

Also that you have to have a very relaxed environment to comfortably take naps, or you never concentrate enough to be able to even start sleeping. Due to day-time being more loud than night-time generally. If you are living in a city, for example, kiss good naps goodbye. Unless you have a room designated specifically for napping. I have a professor, he said once that he is using his "out of comission" drum room as nap room, he lives right near a highway, so even just sleeping at night is impossible for him.

As someone with bipolar insomnia, sometimes I gotta sleep when I can get it. When my adrenaline kicks in hard I can stay up 24-72hrs with 0 sleep. Cool vid, I like the educational shorts.

One thing stage 2 sleep doesn't improve its your driving skills. If you ever start noticing skips in the engine sound, like it cuts off for a split second, stop and take a rest immediately. Nothing is worth the risk.

This is actually very helpful and looking back I would normally have about 30 minute naps when I was working 12 hour nights.

And this is 100% correct. That 90 minute mark can vary from person to person, but not by much. It's worth trying to set your alarm for a period of time that falls on a multiple of 90 minutes, eg 9 hours is good for some people but might be too long for you so try and 7 and half hours. You need to experiment for the optimal time fot you because if your sleep cycle is a bit longer or shorter your 90 optimal multiple might shift a bit earlier or later.

"you're doing it wrong" damn even sleeping needs some skill and practice

My best nap "hack" is to have a small coffee och a cup of black tea right before starting to nap, then set a timer for 25min. When the alarm goes off the caffeine usually kicks in and I'm extra energized from my nap c:

I always wake up from a nap feeling great. 2 hours is perfect!!

I once had one of these Stage 3 naps when I was tense. I got jolted awake when someone called my name from our outside gate for assistance, I woke up so confused that my mind perceived things that just weren't true. My rooms window is huge and from it I can see our neighborhood, car and front gate; what I saw outside when I woke was an apocalyptic version of what was there(Imagine:: a desert with normal walls and a car). I was sooo lost and it took me 2 minutes to understand what was going on😅

That explains why I've never been able to nap for less than two hours at a time - sometimes I'll set alarms for a 30ish minute nap and I always sleep straight through them

This is why I always nap for an hour and a half XD

i heard "snapping good or bad for you" i replied "yeah its bad for me"

I was exhausted Sunday and had a just shy of 2 hr nap with my dog and cat. Woke up feeling amazing 😁

Me: takes a 30 minute nap that turns to 3 hours then doesn't remember what day it is after🙃😊

Oh that explains a lot (as someone who frequently falls asleep on the couch)

shoutout to the fellas who did „research“ themselves by not sleeping enough for too long and slowly noticing those patterns - leading to the casual „well now I shouldn’t sleep at all“ kinda thought

Also, the time it takes u to fall asleep varies depending on how tired you are and the timing of each stage varies for everyone. I think these times are averages so u kind of have to experiment in how long your own maps should be but other than that 20 min is the accepted average and a good place to start.

I have narcolepsy so let me feel everyone in on the napping portion of that. With narcolepsy whether you got good sleep or not you're going to be tired randomly, and you may even fall asleep without realizing it. To prevent this you need to avoid stress and anxiety, for the most part that tends to stop it but not always, that's why across the day you have to spread out a few naps, about 15 to 30 minute naps about the day, once you wake up you'll start doing school, then about maybe 2 or 3 hours into your work you can have a 15 minute nap, once you wake up from that nap or have someone wake you up if you have bad narcolepsy like me, you'd go back to school for another few hours about 3 hours then another nap, you also have an nap near whenever your lunch time is, and then throughout the rest of the day you can kind of just nap whenever you feel like it (after school ends that is). Also if any of you have questions about narcolepsy don't be shy to ask I am more than happy to answer! Before that though I am going to put some answers for some more common questions. Q 1. "What's bad narcolepsy?" Answer: What I considered to be bad narcolepsy is what I have, I can fall asleep within around 10 minutes, and I enter REM sleep within about 15! Q 2. "Why would narcolepsy make you more tired?" Answer: Narcolepsy tends to pair along with another thing which is known as insomnia, I do have both, so you can't sleep on command, yet you can sleep when your narcolepsy kicks in! Q 3. "Does it make life harder?/Is it a disability?" Answer: No not really, it's not a disability per say but I suppose it could be looked at like one, yes it makes life harder but not extremely, since I've always had it, it's not something that you can catch it's something your born with, I can't really imagine a life without it and I consider it a part of me! Q 4. "Do you have other things? Disability wise?" Answer: Yes. I have a few, autism, ADHD, OCD, EDS, Possibly Bi-Polar disorder, and a few others!

I read that as Is Rapping Good or Bad and I was so invested

Very useful thank you. I always knew that a sleep cycle was 1.5 hours, but never knew how long the other sleep stages were, so when my partner naps now, I can wake him up without him being tired and needing more naps (which usually happens every time)

People that can "just nap" or "simply go to sleep" seriously don't realise how lucky they are. Never had a nap in my entire life (apart from being a baby etc...obvs.) I'd love to be able to nap, it would help my mental health so much seeing how much sleep I don't get due to insomnia & sleep anxiety.

For me napping is good if i am very sleep deprived, and i will nap for around an hour or so. I try to get 8-9 hours consistently every night and my need of napping has almost disappeared! Also having coffee right before napping makes me not fall asleep as deeply, and stayibg hydrated in general makes me less tired

1 can give you more mental energy, 2 gives you more mental energy and a bit of physical energy. 3 is both with even more energy, both mentally and physically.

This makes a lot of sense. When i take naps in the afternoon i usually wake up 1.5 to 2 hours later

As a narcoleptic, thanks for this information! I am going to try different nap lengths to see what is best for me :)

That was literally me yesterday 😂 had to drink coffee after an almost 1-2 hour nap

I used to wake up really tired from naps but recently I feel great after a nap. I take much shorter naps now. I set my alarm to go off in an hour because it takes me about 20 minutes to fall asleep.

Thank you for this! Hope it works for me. Been trying to nap, and then wake up to study only to end up going right back to sleep because I'm feeling too sleepy.

hour and a half naps are so good because you feel like youve been asleep for 8 hours

Please change or add WHY YOU FEEL TIRED EVEN AFTER SLEEPING it would be helpful for viewérs.

10-15 naps have always been the go to, feel like i took a energy drink once i wake up

In Ayurveda it is not recommended to sleep during the day. Actually it says that if you meditate enough.. Ull need less than 8hrs of sleep. You'll automatically wake up.

It's also important to remember that the amount of time each person takes to enter into each of the different phases of sleep and the duration of time spent in each phase is different for everyone therefore the optimal amount of time for a nap varies. Personally find I function best when I sleep 5-6 hours at night and take an hour nap about 1 or 2 times a week.

I used to nap for however long I wanted during my school days, typically around 2hrs. Since I didn't set an alarm or anything and woke up naturally, I don't think I ended up with sleep inertia so I had the energy. But then I started working and the days just feel too short. I'm still tired and I do want to rest, but I realised that if I took a 20 - 30mins nap, I end up just like he said, feeling even more tired. So I tried to just set an alarm for 10mins and playing a Livestream of a vtuber or just listening to some music at a volume I could hear that isn't too soft. That way, I don't end up sleeping too comfortably but I do get the rest I need. Though typically I do end up snoozing for another 10mins, but by the time the 2nd alarm rings, I'm ready to be up.

We need something that actually works to know when we have fallen asleep, remained asleep, and then to awaken us, proper.

Yea this only works in a vacuum though. The problem with this is it’s just a general understanding of how our sleep cycle works without any external data. You’re not telling people anything that will actually help them beyond the understanding of what the different stages are. It’s up to the individuals to figure out when and how their stages start and affect their quality of sleep.

Me, a narcoleptic: I do not follow your mere mortal rules of slumber.
