The nap hierarchy
Doing a short snooze in the middle of the day? I highly recommend it if you have the means. Ideally, one of these places (in order by quality of rest):
- Couch nap
- Chair nap (recliner/lounge chair, ideally)
- Bed nap
- Sky nap (airplane)
- Train nap
- Car nap
Places I have napped, for better or worse, and would not recommend:
- A rock concert (The Who, Bruce Springsteen)
- A college lecture
- A piano recital
- Voyage of the Little Mermaid (Walt Disney World, Hollywood Studios)
- Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln (Disneyland)
- American Adventure (Walt Disney World, EPCOT)
