Naptime Theory - Nap Duration Experiment
Researching optimal naptime duration for peak productivity
Current Research Findings
Our team has discovered that a 20-minute nap can boost productivity by 30%. However, we've also found that a 40-minute nap can lead to excessive daytime sleepiness.
Experimental Design
We've conducted experiments on a diverse sample of 100 participants, including:
- 10 programmers
- 20 artists
- 30 engineers
Methodology
We employed a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, with participants napping for either 15, 20, 30, or 45 minutes.

We found significant improvements in cognitive function, memory, and creativity among participants napping for 20-30 minutes. However, longer naps led to:
- Disorientation
- Confusion
- Increased risk of drooling
We're currently seeking funding to continue our research and explore the optimal nap duration for peak performance.
