I've taken naps and woken up at 6 and couldn't tell if it was AM or PM.

    That is exactly how I define a great nap as an adult. The more disoriented I wake up, the better.

    I've gotten up really early and played video games for a few hours and the saw a touch of light in the sky and panicked because it looked like evening and I thought I'd spent the whole day gaming and missed my afternoon flight, but actually it was just the sun coming up.

    I’m 39 and still sometimes dream about being late for an exam and then wake up stressed and annoyed

    I had a dream where I was back in school and when I woke up the sheer dread of knowing that I hadn't done my homework and Mr Mowlin was going to yell at me, and...

    Then it hit me that I was an adult and hadn't been to school in decades, and it was genuinely the best feeling ever

    When I was like 21 my sister messed with me. I was taking a nap during summer break. She busted into my room and yelled, "get up! you're going to be late for the bus!" I almost had a heart attack and it took like a full minute to realize I hadn't taken the bus in 7 years, I was on summer break from college, and she was a total jerk.

    A couple of years ago I woke up from a rare afternoon nap. But I thought it was morning, because the sun outside was setting so the light was dim, which I took for the sun rising, which is usually when I get up. The time was about 6:30, which was the right time for me to wake up. So I got my morning coffee, and sat down in front of the computer for a bit of browsing. It was a typical morning, until I noticed it was getting darker outside, instead of lighter. I peeked out the bedroom window to the southern sky to see if it was overcast. Nope.

    Anyway, it took me about twenty minutes to realize it wasn't morning and to remember that I had laid down for a nap.

    It's Sunday, yes, but...I'm 40? Uh-oh. Hooooly shit, I think I just took an 8 year nap.

    Yes, and it doesn't happen often enough. That is top tier napping.
