If you wake up from a nap feeling worse than before, you might be overdoing it.
If it’s longer than 30 minutes – it’s no longer a nap, technically speaking. According to Dr. Michael Breus, author of “Good Night,” you’re probably in a deep sleep if you nap for longer than 30 minutes and it’s a lot harder to come out of that.
If you’re looking to recharge, try napping for 5 to 20 minutes. That’s a real nap and can give you a shot of energy and mental clarity. If you feel you really need to rejuvenate, then a short sleep is in order. Try 60 to 90 minutes. You’ll need another 5 to 10 minutes to let yourself really wake up from that one.
