Got up just past 5 today to go to the airport and thank goodness I go to work late! I got a nice power nap in before work (nearly 2 hours’ worth!) and felt so refreshed. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t had that extra time to rest.

I read once that a 6-minute power nap is just as effective as a 20-minute one, but I wonder if time taken to fall asleep was counted. Sometimes you can’t just crash right away and need some time to drift off. I’ve found that I seem to feel best if I sleep for an even number of hours. Getting 6 is ideal, 8 is hard to come by, and 2 or 4 is not quite enough.

I’m feeling very tired now though and totally ready for a full night’s rest. 🙂
