You can’t get REM in any normal “nap,” and you don’t need it to be rested during the day.
Your nights are for the real thing.
“You can’t get REM in any normal “nap,””
Speak for yourself. If I nap for at least 1 hr 20 minutes, I can get a REM cycle in.
“you don’t need it to be rested during the day”
No, not normally, but if I do take a nap, I’m going to take one that doesn’t leave me feeling more tired than before I took it.
Rarely nap, but, when I do….it’s a 20 minute power nap.
