Half hour-45mins work best. Any longer will cause you to wake up in a fog wondering which century it is.

Today while I was working, I got a little tired around 2:30 so I plonked myself on the studio couch and took a nap. I got like half asleep and then got up around 3:15ish and carried on. Adult nap time? Underrated.

You want to shoot for 20 minutes or 90 minutes, nothing in between!
20 minute naps (set a timer between 15 or 30 minutes) are short enough that sleep inertia doesn't affect you much. Sleep inertia is what makes you feel like shit after a long nap. You will not feel like your are sleeping in that 20 minutes. It has big "resting my eyes energy." But just 20 minutes has huge benefits and will allow you to feel alert the next few hours. No grogginess.
90 minute naps are the longest naps you want to take. A full sleep cycle (going from light to deep sleep and back) takes about an hour and a half. 90 minutes guarantees you wake at a light stage and you'll be able to shake off that sleep inertia quick.
Both of these options are not likely to spoil your normal night's sleep either. Source for this info at the link.
Bonus nap: The Caffeine Nap 😈
Drink a stimulant (coffee, red bull) and immediately go down for a 20 minute nap. By the time you wake up, refreshed, the caffeine will have metabolized and gives you an additional boost of alertness. This is how I survived my last few semesters of college.

Your body’s circadian rhythm has a natural dip near 1:30pm and taking a 20 min nap right around there has made me feel so much more energized for the rest of the day. It feels like a hack.

Maybe it’s due to the hour loss from daylight savings….walk away from the grumpies.

It’s September! Fall boot time!
Today I wore my suede burgundy ankle boots and proudly walked into work…the only one not wearing sandals.
I don’t care if people aren’t “ready” for boots.
I am!!! 😊😊😊
