The Art of the Perfect Nap You close your eyes for a "quick" nap and wake up groggy, wondering what day it is, where you are, and why your limbs feel like concrete. Sound familiar? The issue isn't that you took a nap — it's how you napped. When you slip too far into a deep sleep stage, you'll wake up mid-cycle, smack in the middle of what scientists call sleep inertia: that foggy, sluggish state where everything feels harder than it should (including opening your eyes). Ready to nap like a pro? Make your midday snooze truly restorative by adopting these specific nap "rules", including how to time your nap.
