it depends on deep into sleep u fall..I have taken them and felt worse, but if u can find that perfect level of sleep a 10-15 min power nap really can energize u

I would love to have a power nap between 3 and 5 everyday, but it just wouldn't look right in front of all these other people.:D

No such thing as a "power nap"....at least for me anyways.

My naps usually last 3 hours...sometimes longer :eek:

Yes, but how did you feel prior to your "power" nap! Probably dead, but now at least you're sort of among the living dead. :D

I took a short nap one time and felt like crap the rest of the day. Don't do it no more.

I have a bad case of Insomnia as it is and take Amben CR

I used to be able to take a short nap during the day but not anymore

Wife comes home from work at 4:30 and she'll sleep to 6:30 or until I wake her\\

A "power nap" seems to be all work will give me lately. We got to the hotel last night at 1030 PM and had to be back up at 230 AM. Just got in tonight not long ago and have to be back up at 4:30. :( :(

power naps work great if you use a recliner


i've found that using a bed or laying your head down just causes you to get too comforatble

the trick must be in keeping blood in your head....
