I used to cat-nap, 20 minutes does a lot to refresh you. Anything longer, and you will not be able to wake up & be at 100% as fast. Learned that in the Army. Big picture, it could be your body’s reaction to stress. Maybe start thinking about mental health, talk to a counselor about it.

When I get stressed I shut down and kinda go into depression and don’t get out of bed on the weekends :/ I just sleep hoping it will go away lol but that just makes it worse bc I could be working or studying and now I just put myself in more stress 😩 never ending cycle. And power naps I can’t do, once I’m asleep I don’t wake up :(
