Not if you keep it short. Do you remember when we talked about the sleep cycles and the different stages? Well they come in handy to understand why you may wake up groggy from your nap.

Let me explain: as long as you stay in the first stages of sleep, you will be able to wake up and be energized. But if you enter the deep stages of sleep during your nap, then that’s when trouble starts; it will be much harder for you to get up, and you will feel as if you were waking up from a 6 month hibernation period. You will be groggy!

The length of a sleep cycle, if you remember, is approximately 90 minutes; you certainly don’t want to nap for that long, nor do you want to enter deep sleep. So again, time is critical, I highly recommend a 20 minute nap, 30 minutes tops.
