If you’re not getting enough sleep, then taking a nap may help; however, the best solution is to go to bed earlier to avoid building up a sleep debt. Even an hour earlier is helpful, but if that’s impossible, then a daytime nap can give you an added boost. If you decide to nap, limit your time to 20 or 30 minutes early in the day. Any longer or later and you’re liable to awaken feeling groggy instead of alert.
