Nap time?

Seven to nine hours of sleep each night is ideal but not always possible. Juggling an evening job, a huge assignment, and an early class time can cause a modest "sleep deficit" to build. Many students use short 20-minute "power naps" to get them through the day and see them as a necessity, not a luxury.
Naps aren't for everyone, however. Many students don't feel refreshed after a siesta, waking up groggy and even more tired than before. They also find that naps disturb their regular sleep cycle.
Students who do nap regularly say the secret is not relying on them heavily and limiting them to an hour or less.
