 Taking a nap in the middle of the day - yay or nay? 
 Mandatory 
 YAY 
 Nay 
 yay, but for 45 minutes ideally.  
 💯.  Every sleep study we have in aviation shows that naps are a powerful tool for resetting alertness and clear thinking. 🚁 
 I've found them to be really beneficial there too. They only mess up my ability to fall asleep at night if I'm being too lazy anyway. 
 20min nap mid day 👌even better if it's right on the ground outside 
 Took one today since I didn't sleep strait through the night, felt good 
 I think if you’re sleeping well a nap isn’t even a thought. I never take naps or get tired midday. 
 Hard nay

I won't be able to go to sleep at night very easily 
 Depends on how you feel. Situational 
 Oh I always feel like it lol 
 Only if you have nothing productive you MUST do by EOD., or in the event that you know for sure you’ll be useless without some sleep.

Once I wake up, it can go either way in my case. 
 Can be useful during periods of heavy training to aid recovery IMO. 
 HYPERNAPIFICATION that's the Baja way. 
 I only used to sleep after carbs pre-diabetic or burning the midnight oil whatever works for you..
