So most days when I work later in the day I get so tired to the point where I’m nearly falling asleep working but at most I’ll nod off for a second. After 10 to 15 minutes of nearly falling asleep but still actively working the feeling is gone. Still tired but not nodding off or anything like that anymore. What causes this to disappear?

The term Power Nap is cool these days. When you are very tired you can take quick nap for 10-15 minutes to be more energetic. I get tired very tired around 1-2pm and if I’m at home I probably hit the couch for a moment. A bit more difficult at office.

When you nod off even for a short moment, you’ve actually fallen asleep so it’s kinda super fast power nap although it doesn’t have the same overall effect.

If I’ve had bad night sleep-wise I’ve sometimes taken 4-5 naps top to remain functioning. No amount of coffee helps during those days.
