Nap Timer
Set your nap length, press Start, and let the alarm wake you on time.
How long should a nap be?
Many people find a short nap of 10 to 20 minutes refreshing. Longer naps of around 30 minutes can leave you groggy, while around 90 minutes allows a full sleep cycle. Choose what suits you and your day.
Tips for a better nap
- Find a dim, quiet spot and set the timer before you lie down.
- Turn the volume up, and check your phone is not on silent.
- Avoid long naps late in the day, which can make it harder to sleep at night.
Important
If waking on time really matters, also set your phone's own alarm. Phones can quiet or pause web audio when the screen locks.
