How fast can you nap?

[SpeedRacer 1]

I can actually sleep & enter a dream state for 10 minutes & wake up naturally & feel refreshed.

That said, I still sleep a normal amount at night, I'm just talking about quick naps during the day.

My sister-in-law from Australia used to call them "disco naps", which is a nap you'd take after work so that you could go to the discoteque that evening without crashing.

I believe they are called power naps.

Cant do short naps. For some reason they make me feel worse when I wake up. The longest nap I took was 5 hours and I didnt stay up late the night before.

Breathe out so I can breathe you in...

Anything more than a 20 minute nap fucks me up.

Ditto here. If I don't close the deal by giving an extended sleep, I suffer from what I would call the mental and full body equivalent of blue balls. Getting started without closing the deal? Yeah, I hurt the rest of the day for it.

There are about 5 stages of sleeping that cycle 4 to 5 times during a normal night's rest. the last 2 are deep sleep. if you get into deep sleep during the nap but don't complete that cycle, your brain is screwed the rest of the day.

Sometimes 20 or 30 minute naps work for me. Often they turn into 1-2 hour naps.

5 minutes on the way to altitude on the PAC.

Works perfectly.

sleep less than 45min or more than 4 hours as a guideline..

for hardcore lucid dreaming the snooze button is your friend if it can be set to 20+ min...

ive spend/lived what i perceived to be years IN a continual dream state.. all between 5 and 9 am on a single morning...

no only until you can complete a full cycle... doesnt have to be all day if you can go back to bed...

I'm a college student still. I could sleep standing up with my eyes wide open.

If I stay in a light sleep, I am ok. If I fall deep, then I have a headache til I go to bed for real. I can force a light sleep by telling myself I have to be up by a certain time, I will check the clock every 5-10 minutes and stay in a fairly light sleep.
