Has anyone who is bad at #naps managed to get good at naps?

I am a chronic #insomniac and late riser, I am trying to wake up earlier on a regular basis, and I might benefit from being able to take a short midday nap.

But howwww?

(Yes, I'm familiar with #delayedsleepphasedisorder and the concept of biphasic or #polyphasic sleep. I've been terminally online for 28 years, so please only reply from personal experience, thanks.)

I have just finished the last of the 2021/22 tax returns

There are 2 more cases on my list, and I have zero records from them. After 31 Jan 2023 they will no longer be clients.

There are another couple of cases which I need to lose as well, too little info, too late #GIGO

In the past 10 days of continuous work (Sat and Sun included) I have done about a month's worth of regular work.

I use #polyphasic #sleep to cope with that.

Locking up, going home, and to bed!

You joke, but as a kid I got really into #polyphasic sleep schedules with the goal of cutting the amount I sleep—think of all the exciting things I could have done! (or, back then, all the extra games I could have played)

It doesn't seem to work, long term, sadly—people tend to get sick and then crash and make up all the time they "saved" in less sleep
