    Every time I’ve tried 15-30 minute naps I was completely wasted afterwards. Powernapping isn’t for everyone I guess.

      There are phases of sleep that you pass through. Seems like you pass through the lighter ones relatively quickly and you’re getting dragged awake out of a deep sleep phase.

      Either give it a little bit longer (like 35-45 minutes) or try 10 minute catnaps.

      There was an android app that monitored your breathing and motion when the phone is placed next to you on the bed. It claimed to wake you when you were in the right sleep cycle to wake up clear. I tried it as an alarm clock replacement and it seemed to work…but it was years ago and I forget the app name

      I’ve heard that, yes. There is a moment of grogginess for me. Maybe 10 to 15 minutes. But that leaves, and the rest of the day is like a fresh day.
