My 4-step system to power napping:
1. Block out your calendar for 40-60 min.
Schedule a daily calendar invite.
The time block will give you at least a 10 min buffer (before and after your 30 min nap).
Buffer time is essential to:
1) Settle into the nap
2) Transition back to your workday

2. Be strategic about the time of day.
Napping past 3 pm often hurts evening sleep.
(Exception: You're a night owl and go to bed past midnight.)
Lunchtime napping has worked best for me.

3. Before the nap, set a timer for 30 min.
Naps longer than 30 min might put you in REM, inducing sleep inertia (grogginess).

More Napping Tips:
Nap at the same time dailyโas it helps condition the habit.
You might not fall asleep the first few times (as I didn't). Stick with it! Keep your phone outside of reach.
Optimize your nap space with blackout shades. Daylight keeps us alert (bad for napping)

Some people think having an expensive car is a strong flex.
But the real flex is being able to take a nap whenever you want.
While everyday napping may be aspirational (for both of us), it IS a worthwhile pursuit...
You'll maximize the time you show up as your best self.
