Get sharp. Take a nap.
Studies show that naps make you smarter, healthier, and safer. Take a caffeine nap. That is not an oxymoron. Drink a cup of coffee before you take a nap. Caffeine needs 20 to 30 minutes to take effect, so it will kick in just as you’re waking up.
The Boston Globe tells you How To Nap.
Napping is not to be confused with sleeping all day. Ige has a theory about the etymology of jologs. Many believe that the word is derived from Jolina as in the actress Jolina Magdangal, but Ige thinks it started with tulog nang tulog, which may be expressed in baklese as jolog nang jolog.

Just like rebooting the brain. Works like a charm.

I can only nap on Sunday afternoons. I am not really good at napping. I easily wake up. After a nap I am usually hungry. I usually go to bed before 9 every night when I am not busy. Sleeping early has already become a habit and reading a page or two of that monster of a book, Remembrance of Things Past by M. Proust. I’ve been having a lousy affair with it for a year now. But, no regrets.

Like taking naps. I absolutely glow after a nap. My mouth feels clean and my brain feels like I just ingested a bottle of imported beer but not muffling my senses but the exact opposite, clarifying.

Isn’t being able to wake up easily after a nap, a key factor in napping? Because you are not in slumber deep? No offense to #3.

Napping was the Old World’s practise for centuries; and it had been the Filipino practise (when I was growing up, anyways), until it was overtaken by the afternoon tagalog movies and soaps.
But even until now, most of Europe still observes the “siesta” hour.
It’s good, a lot of people, are harking back to the good ol days. I find it that even 15 minutes of napping or just closing your eyes, makes one sharper, going back to work.

Yes I think naps are wonderful biorhythmic manifestations that can more or less evidently augment one’s functions which in turn leads one to be more productive rather than counter-productive.

When I was growing up, I hated when the old folks would bugger me everyday during vacation time to take a nap after lunch. I really would rather play in the neighborhood all day than nap. I’d pretend to be asleep, and when my aunt leaves the room, I sneak out. This worked for a while, until I got caught one day. Maybe the old folks really know how the universe works. Now I find myself dozing off during movies, watching PBA on tv, Sunday mass, etc. I actually worry whether I am afflicted with narcolepsy, because when the sleepy feeling strikes, I really can’t keep my eyes open.
