    I have heard that some people take 10 mins, others take 30 mins. Im really suprised that people can even nap for that long. So what do you think is the ideal length?

    i took a powernap during my lecture today... bout 30 mins :p
     
  5. the body isn't able to rest unless you sleep for at least an hour..... that is what psychology has taught me..... so taking such short naps are rather useless...

    I always thought around 40mins is about right, anymore and you feel too tired and wanting to sleep more, any less and you dont really do anything!
     
  9. well... could be the placebo effect....

    There is no "ideal length"....

    To me it depends on how muchy work i have to do..
    I only really have naps / power naps when ive had to study through the night >_<"
    and most of the time its when ive got lots of assignments so cant nap for long
    about 10-15mins i think..cant nap for long coz of last min pressures...

    I feel more tired after a quick nap, esp if it's interrupted.

    my gameday routine includes a nap that's 30 mins. i feel really refreshed and energized afterwards so that's my ideal time.

    im trying not to take any naps throughout the day but the last time i took one it was for about 2hrs n i felt sleepy for the rest of the day so its not really a "power nap" then i guess
