This is something that should be of interest to anyone in college. A guide, from the Boston Globe nonetheless, on how to nap better. It’s one big image with texts and pictures describing different variables one should take into account when preparing for a nap, length of a nap you should take, etc. 

A few valuable pieces of information that I took away from the article:

• If your natural cycle seems to be early to rise and early to bed (around 9 or 10 p.m.) you should nap between one and two in the afternoon, if you tend to go to bed around midnight or 1 a.m. you should nap closer to 2 or 2:30 in the afternoon for optimal efficiency.
• To avoid the groggy feeling when you wake up, limit naps to 45 minuets or less.
• If you feel the need for a longer nap, make it at least 90 minuets, no skimping here, either go all the way…or only go half way.
