> Yes! I know what you mean. Sometimes after my nap, I will feel more tired than before. I wouldn't want to drive that way. This is transient and attenuated by a small dose of caffeine (green tea works). However, I'm wondering if there is a correlation between the length of a nap and the phenomenon of either feeling more rested or less rested after the nap. I heard (urban legend?) that anything over 30 minutes will make you more tired
I think the actual fact is, that anything over 30 minutes may interfere with getting to sleep later on that night.
