I wish I could partake in nap culture, but I always wake up feeling like I've been ripped from the goddamn afterlife. Always worse than before. My wife and I just spent two grueling sleepless nights in the postpartum ward, and after returning home today she encouraged me to have a 1-hour nap. I obliged and woke up so fucking brain-sick out of sorts that I could barely interact with my surroundings for the first 30 minutes.

    After 20 minutes. It's better to go all the way to 90 minutes.

    Because you'll have started to enter deep sleep after 20. You probably woke up in the middle of a deep sleep cycle and that's why you felt dead.

    Gotta learn your sleep cycles and stick to them. I think most people go through a full sleep cycle (rem and deep sleep oversimplified) in 90 minutes. If you stick to that you won't get that coming out of a coma feeling.
