Nap Techniques for the Uninitiated

By Steve, the Self-Declared Expert on all things Sleep.

Here are some of my favorite nap techniques:

1. The Steve-nap

Also known as the "Sudden Onset Somnolence", this technique involves falling asleep instantly, without warning, like a ton of bricks.

2. The Power Nap

For those who need a quick energy boost, this technique involves setting an alarm for 20 minutes, then waking up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world... until you remember that you're actually not.

3. The REM Sleep Paradox

A paradox, indeed. This technique involves sleeping for exactly 4 hours and 23 minutes, then waking up feeling like you've been sleep-deprived for weeks.

Stay woke, and remember: napping is serious business.
