Power nap tip 2: Make sure you time it well!
It may seem like any time of the day when you are tired is going to be the perfect time for a power nap. However, it is not the case in a lot of cases, as there is such a thing as the best time to take a nap, which will sometimes correlate with the time you are feeling sleepy and also with what type of person you are. We have already mentioned that if you suffer from insomnia, you should not nap throughout the day, but depending on whether or not you are a night owl, the time when you should sleep shifts.
The general best time period in which you should nap, whether it is a power nap or a shorter one, is between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. This is because this is the time in which your body is going to release more melatonin, which is the sleep hormone, and your body temperature will also drop, meaning that it is going to be really easy to fall asleep. What situation would be better for a power nap if not this one?
