How To Power Nap

There's nothing like a good nap. But it's a fine line between a good one, and a nap that leaves you all groggy and out of it. Laci breaks down what's going on inside your brain when you go down for a quick sleep.

I don't like naps. Falling asleep isn't as simple as laying my head down. I keep thinking about things. It would take me close to an hour just to fall asleep. I will reserve that to nighttime.

Whenever I try to take a 5-20 minute power nap, I instead wake up 6-8 hours later... >.>

[kefaeta]

i really don't care how to nap, i just wanna know how to WAKE UP FROM ONE!

40 minutes is exactly how long my History class lasts. #youthinkingwhatimthinking?

In Russia you don't take naps, naps take you.

I'm here at 4 in the morning wondering how to take a power nap before having to wake up at 6:30 to go to work 😅

[sodamned]

I don't understand myself..
I want to take a nap..
I go to my bed..
close my eyes..
wait for a few minutes. . .



I'M STILL AWAKE!
Life is abusing me right now!

I'm actually really glad you posted this. I'm starting a second job this week, and between both jobs I'll work every day of the week. On top of that, I have a full-time school schedule. I've been panicking all week trying to think of how I survive, but I do have time during the day between school and work to take a power nap.

Still, I've always hated naps and have never felt good after taking one, so hopefully this video will help with that. Thank you, Laci.

I love that you went into the science behind the REM cycles. I always had wondered which cycle would be best to wake up in. Thanks!

When it was "nap time" when I was little, I never wanted to go bed and now I'm like "SCREW OFF!!! LET ME SLEEP" I got to go take a nap

[Huddy]

I've had a few power naps in the back room at work during my break. I feel like a new man every time.

I thank you so much for this video. I just woke up from a one and a half hour nap and feel so rejuvenated. And it feels like I woke up so naturally not posed off that I have to wake up. This video has truly revolutionized my napping!

[NuriMCBE]

I literally can't wake up from a nap no matter what even if I sit 10 alarms my subconscious self will subconsciously turn off every single one of them then go back to sleep

[IamNadal]

You always know just what video's to make dnews!! I have recently been trying to read up on power napping and trynig it for myself and you've managed to simplify it into a 3 minute vid. Love this channel <3
