The issue here is that most people will consider a nap to last more than the required. During sleep we go though several phases, and waking up interrupting certain phases is critical. The standard is to not take a nap that goes over 30mins. After 30 mins very deep sleep occurs and interrupting after that phase is counterproductive. If that occurs, you will feel groggy or even more tired. Naps are good = NO more than 30mins a day. Naps are necessary and do help to recover mental energy through the day.
