Understanding the difference between power napping and sleeping allows you to make the most of your sleep time and reap the many benefits of smart snoozing. Power napping takes place when you sleep in short bursts, allowing your body to enter just the first two stages of sleep. These first two stages of sleep typically take only 20 - 30 minutes.

Both power naps and deep sleep improve brain power and increase body’s stamina, but deep sleep typically produces more extensive long-lasting results. During a full cycle of regular sleep, the body rejuvenates and repairs itself. Various activities that take place include memory consolidation, muscle and tissue repair, energy restoration and hormone releases (according to the National Sleep Foundation). During a power nap, your brain slows down, your body temperature lowers and your muscles relax. Much like taking a quick drink of water helps hydrate your body, power naps refresh your mind and relax your body in a relatively short time.

A power nap is good but not as good as a good night sleep. Always remember to set the alarm clock before taking a nap so that you won't exceed the recommended nap time (20 - 30 min). Over nap can cause your body to shift from power napping to full-fledged sleeping. If this happens and you awaken during the middle of a sleep cycle, you can experience sleep inertia - excessive grogginess, fatigue and disorientation that can completely offset the potential benefits of taking a nap.
