10 to 15 Minute Nap: A power nap of 20 minutes boosts energy, alertness and is refreshing. You do not enter REM sleep.

Half Hour Nap: Can cause a sleep hangover feeling. you’re still groggy 30 minutes after waking up. feeling rested kicks in later.

Hour Nap: Great for improving memory. You sleep very deeply but encounter grogginess upon waking.
