    This is all well and good for people who can fall sleep right away, a 20 minute nap would mean an hour alarm since it would take 40 minutes before there is a possibility of napping.

    Everyone is different though.

      I will eternally be jealous of people who can fall asleep immediately and/or nap. Just falling asleep is like a 30-40 minute endeavour on a good day :(

      True that everyone is different, but out of curiosity have you tried a 20 minute catnap before? What was it like?

      A lot of folks don’t really get to sleep in a proper sense when taking this short of a nap, but even though they’re still conscious they reap the energy benefits from the rest - more so than taking a more traditional break.

        Yes, and sometimes I can nap, other times I just “rest my eyes” for about an hour.

        I have ADHD, so for me my mind just wanders, even if I’m tired. If I can focus my mind and have it wander on a single thought it seems to be easier to doze off though.
