Game changer: power naps 😅

The ultimate super power unlock
Do that before you become a parent
my power naps always turn into now-the-day-is-gone-and-you-are-powerless naps
I set the clock for 20 minutes and i can't fall asleep. So i set it for 40 minutes and i wake up feeling groggy for 2 hours..
But if you don’t fall asleep by 40min, then you’ve already wasted 1 hr trying to get a light nap.
No solutions only groggy tradeoffs
I meant that i take the 20 minutes i actually need to fall asleep as extra already for the next time i try to power nap. If i do fall asleep then i probably slept too long entering deep sleep already.
I am not a sleep scientist but i heard you should avoid waking up from deep sleep when powernapping, but i seem to get there very fast.
Bottomline for me is that it's just not working. I thrive on regular schedules at night and since i'm doing that i never really felt the need to do naps during the day.
I tried doing that long ago but i really had to get into trainwreck mode before my brain could accept it. But when i woke up i was usually still in trainwreck mode.
I hear you... 👌
