Is it ok to wake up very early in the morning and then nap for an hour or two around noon to regain energy?

Is there a best position to sleep for your health?

Are there any good journal articles/studies in the literature about this?

>>Staring at baby

Awww my babbie is so cute <3

>>notice how he sleeps with arms up over his head. Very Stereotypical baby

I wonder if that's even comfortable

>>Tries laying down with arms over head

Oh

>>Straightens back. Prevents sleep slouch

>>Still can't sleep through the night in that pose. Back is too weak

We must learn from babies. They live by nature's rules. And one of nature's rule is take a nap in the middle of the day or everything pisses you off

Babies do make mad gains from their boob milk and 23 hr a day sleep life style.

Hands over or above my head is a supremely comfy way of sleeping, or at least of falling asleep.

Actually I woke up in that exact position once. Both my arms were completely numb for a good ten minutes. Meaning it's good for a temporary stretch for your neck and spine but it will slowly cut off your circulation. But I'm curious to know if it works for others.

I inherited the power napping gene and can take 10-15 minute naps or other times sleep for an hour in the day and feel great.

Lately I've tried sleeping about 7-8 hours of sleep instead of 6.5. This actually made me feel more tired and I hate it. So I'm mostly going back to my normal schedule.

A few things to consider

> alcohol and/or caffeine will affect your sleep quality

> not everyone can power nap

> much less sleep is needed when burning fat (at least for me)

Is there such thing as too much sleep? I usually go to sleep around 10:30-11. Thing is I "naturally" wake up around 5:30 and just sleep some more because my alarm is set for 6:45.

I'm one of those fags that seems to work better with less sleep. I'll go to bed around 3:30am and wake up at about 8am for my daily activities. If I don't have work I'll powernap nearer the evening.

However if I go to sleep at say, 11:00pm I'll wake up around 10am or 11am the next day which is infuriating. Short sleep and early wakeup with a nap is objectively superior

Sounds nice.

I wish there was a better way to tell which sleeping position is truly best. because all the articles I've seen say "these are the most common positions, X is best… except for these things," which to me, has translated to "We have an opinion, but we don't really know anything,".

what I do know is this:

like what >>133753 said.

>Caffeine affects you sleep if take it fewer hours before bedtime.

>alcohol is a stimulant, and then a depressant. It'll get you going and then make you sleepy, but it's not a good kind of sleep

>Not everyone can power nap, but if you can get into a deep-trance meditation, it'll work just as effectively.

>your bed matters too. firm is ideal for support, but not all of us can sleep on straight-up-wood. springs last longer than foam. if you're fat or just plain heavy, your bed will break down faster, no matter what you use.

>>133768

If you slept really long and still felt tired getting up, you're getting too much sleep. you're getting 9 hours so you should be fine.

>>133770

how long have you been doing this!? You might have chronic sleep deprivation, 3:30 to 8:00 (ew) is only 4.5 hours! How long are your naps? If you've been depriving yourself, your body will want to compensate, it's the reason you go twelve hours when you go to bed early.

>And one of nature's rule is take a nap in the middle of the day or everything pisses you off

this is true. every since I started taking naps after work, I've felt less tired getting up in the morning.
