Napping, Honestly

14 min

A clear-eyed look at naps: when they help, when they quietly steal from the night, and why sleep pressure matters. For the next three weeks, the default is to avoid them where possible; if a nap is unavoidable, keep it early, short, and not every day. Exceptions are named plainly, from shift work and new parenthood to medical advice.
