According to NASA, how long does the perfect nap last?
26 minutes
While napping between 10 to 20 minutes keeps you sharp, the perfect length is felt to be 26 minutes. NASA discovered pilots who got naps that lasted that long were 54 percent more efficient. That allows you to get rest, wake up refreshed, and ready to do whatever job is needed. Once you get to 30 minutes, your body falls into deeper sleep and unless you have the time for it, you’ll feel really groggy when you wake up.
