I started recently with this 'be an early riser' trend, and I sleep now between 6 and 5 hours. I feel somehow more energetic than when I slept 8 or 9 hours, but sometimes at 4 or 5 in the afternoon I start to doze. If I can afford it, I take a power nap. To do so in the best possible way, I wrote a <a href="http://www.mostlymaths.net/2010/08/power-nap-via-command-line-in-linuxmac.html" rel="nofollow">small bash script</a> to power nap effectively. You start the program with a number of minutes and a music player as arguments, and keep your finger over a key. When you fall asleep, your finger gets released (or it should, you have to be in a position such that this happens!) and then a counter starts ticking. When it runs out (after the set number of minutes you asked it for), a song (or a beeper) will play, awakening you. I usually sleep 20 minutes with this technique and as the program also logs the start time and sleep start time, I now know that I take between 5 and 10 minutes to fall asleep when power napping. I hope this serves some reader here! Ruben Definitely, I take a nap at work. I started recently with this ‘be an early riser’ trend, and I sleep now between 6 and 5 hours.
