About 75% of the time I have trouble actually getting up from naps though :(

Yeah.  I just want to take a nap for 20-30 minutes and the next thing I know, an hour has passed. :dizzy

Quote

Black Power Naps is an artistic initiative with components including physical installations, zines, an opera, and more. But it's also a recognition of the hundreds of years of sleep deprivation that Black people and people of color have experienced as a result of systemic racism, a way to pushback against the false stereotype that Black people are lazy, and an investigation of the inequitable distribution of rest. That lack of sleep has serious consequences.

“I'd been looking at statistics around lower life expectancy rates and how marginalized communities are greatly impacted by that phenomenon,” Acosta said. “Where there are heightened level of stress and cortisol, and a lower life expectancy, sleep and rest are part of that.”

Studies have shown that, for a host of reasons, Black people get less sleep, and less deep sleep, than white people. Sleep loss can cause higher levels of cortisol, as Acosta noted, and can lead to many health problems including early death. But there's something deeper going on — Acosta explained that sleep deprivation was used as a means of control over enslaved people, meaning Black people haven't been getting the sleep they need for generations.

I spend 8, 9 sometimes 10 hours fast asleep in a coma at night so I don't need naps during the day.

Can’t do naps. But as a man in his 30s, I do love day drinking/partying and going to bed rather early to avoid hangovers!

People in here who can't take a 2pm siesta are really missing out on life.

the 6.30, 10:30 and 18.00 siestas aren't too shabby either, ngl
