kaz 2,439 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I took a 2 hour nap. I played a round of doto after coming home and was so tired, normally I end up feeling like shit if I sleep 30min - 2hours and just go back to sleep if I wake up but not this time. Forced myself up and the groggy feeling vanished and I felt super energized. Used that energy to sit down on my fat ass to play more. I know the benefits but I never really considered it. People do 30min - 1hour powernapping. I always thought that shit is for old people, guess I was wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Casual 732 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Not really. I've tried but always have trouble falling asleep. The only time I ever have a good nap is when it's completely unintentional, ie. i doze off watching sportscentre or something. I'd probably make more of an effort to do it if my schedule was more flexible but working 9-5...by the time I get home and eat/gym, if I nap then it's gonna just fuck my sleep up that night and I already have a hard enough time sleeping.

Playstation Tablet 1,728 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Only old people over 55 should be taking naps. If you're taking naps at 30, chances are you have a fucked up metabolism and energy levels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know 2 hours is too long but like casual said falling asleep is hard and takes some time, so how do you make sure you wake up at the right time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lostfool 680 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) What is weird is that I don't know. I don't set an alarm. I just tell myself 30-45 min and that is how long I sleep. I recommend you set an alarm. If you really need a nap you will fall asleep right away Edited March 7, 2019 by lostfool Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Almost any sleep study would say different. 30 minute naps are very valuable. Even high level athletes generally take pre-game naps. The impact of sleep deprivation is pretty terrible unless you're part of a very very small percentage of people that can legitiamtely get by on less. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
