According the to National Sleep Fondation, naps can be categorized into three types:
1. Planned Napping - This involves taking a nap before you are feeling the need for one. Do this when you know you're going to be up late to prevent getting tired earlier.
2. Emergency Napping - This happens suddenly when you are overwhelmed with drowsiness and cannot continue the task you are taking part in.
3. Habitual Napping - This involves taking a nap at the same time every day. It is usually practiced by children who nap regularly.
What kind of naps do you usually take?
I'm currently awake writing a paper due in a couple hours and wish I would have taken a planned nap so I wasn't feeling the need for an emergency nap right now!
