I can normally nap for 20 minutes and get said boost, but not when I&amp;#x27;m sleep deprived. In that case, it feels way harder to wake up at the 20-minute mark, I also wake up groggy and I feel like napping longer (and that&amp;#x27;s what normally ends up happening).</text></comment>

I find it’s better to get up and go for a 20 minute walk instead. That pulls all the right strings in my brain.</text></comment>
