Wikipedia: Power nap
Encyclopedia overview of very short planned naps for alertness—useful vocabulary and cultural context, not a substitute for PubMed meta-analyses on habitual napping or laboratory cognitive outcomes.
Scope
Summarises ultra-short planned sleep ideas (corporate “power nap”, NASA nap lore, hypnagogic boundary) and links outward to sleep inertia and circadian discussions.
Evidence discipline
Hazard ratios for habitual long napping and Cohen’s d for post-nap cognition belong to the PubMed-linked rows on daytime-napping—use Wikipedia to orient, not to cite numeric long-term risk by itself.
Pairing
wikipedia-sleep-overview— broader sleep homeostasis vocabulary on the Sleep optimization protocol.wikipedia-circadian-rhythm-overview— timing of naps relative to phase when combined with bright-light protocols.
