Naps

What is the optimum length for a "power nap?" I heard that if you nap for too long, hormones are released that will have a detrimental effect on your energy.

i dont care about the "scientific" crap, alls i know is i live and die by naps.

if you nap too long, it just takes you longer to "wake up". i find a good 30min-45min nap is good. unless i'm real tired, i take a 2hr banger.depends on your fatigue, man. just nap and enjoy...

You took the words right out of my mouth.

No more than 30 minutes. If you sleep for a longer time your body gets in the mode of "heavy sleep" so when you awake in the middle of it you are more prone to fatigue and headache.

I take a whack and a nap every night when I get home from work. The whack takes about 30 seconds, the nap 30 minutes.

Do you mean whacking off?

When I was in BUD/S pre-training 10-15 minutes was the maximum we were told to take. Anything after put you into a groggy state.

What is BUD/S ?

Du · 09-16-2004, 05:23 PM

Basic Underwater Demolition / Seals?

I think so. Once Manic mentioned something about passing through the equator line in board of a ship and a ceremony.

I think naps are different for each person, I can do a 15-20 minute nap and bounce up like I had never been asleep with renewed energy, any longer and I am groggy as hell and feel dizzy. Some can lay down for an hour and jump right back into another 23 hours of full awakeness.
