Remember, when you were in kindergarten and took a power nap, laying your head down on the desk following your “snack break”? I actually got a “Best Rester” award for that-well I fell asleep, but I digress.
I just received a very well done you tube video, via a tweet from a new follower that extols the benefits of the power nap. I knew it!!!
Take a look:

I spent many thousands of dollars trying to find out why I nap. I thought something was wrong with me. Finally, a doctor from my alma mater, Texas A&M University, told me that I was a napper. He even went so far as to tell me that I was “a true catnapper.” I’m just like a cat in that I can sleep anywhere at any time, and when I get tired, I simply take a nap for anywhere from thirty minutes to three hours. Considering that I don’t drink coffee or otherwise put massive doses of caffeine in my body, I’m wondering if all people aren’t nappers living in societies where napping is frowned upon but chemical dependence apparently isn’t.

I think you might be on to something! I agree and research has shown that just some brief downtime really is what your body is craving, not mood alternating stimulants that inhibit your bodies natural rhythm..
