Gatorade > Redbull > 5 hour energy... tried em all

power nap>gatorade>redbull>5hr

lol @papnicolaou i just noticed i have like 90+ views i didn't mean to waste peoples time lol but yeah i guess ... power naps for me = 8 hours = sleep lol

lol!!!! @papanicolaou thats great!
But what is ur definition of a power nap?

haha, i know. they always start as power "naps"...but then beta waves->alpah->theta->spindles->delta->beta

nothing works on me tried all that

lol @papanicolaou now i will never forget

"BATS Drink Blood "

lol im usually at the delta waves most of my power naps haha [REM]

awesome way of learning ehh what wave are you at in ur power naps?? lol

lol@zen...all this talk abt sleep is making me sleepy!

so i assume ur at the alpha wave ?? haha

someone once told me that a nap needs to be 20 mins for it to actually be effective in re-energizing you. but we're all so sleep deprived, i doubt 20 mins is actually enough for us. nothing beats a good night sleep though!
