Let’s Briefly Discuss the Legality of Naps

vinh:

I took a glorious afternoon nap today. Woke up for an undetermined amount of time - I would put a guess at 5 minutes - and then fell back asleep. Does this count as two naps or a single epic nap? What’s the statute of limitations on how long a person has to be awake for there to be a second nap instead of having an interruption in the middle of a single nap?

Good question. A five minute break is something you do to catch your breath and gather the strength to carry on, this applies to exercise (if you’re into that kind of thing) as well as napping. Fifteen minutes is the standard filofax time-unit but I thinkit’s far too easy to be distracted and the five minutes turn into fifteen. So after twenty minutes to half an hour it will turn into two naps. It’s really all about getting the best out of the napping.
