Curious to see how popular naps are

No, I cannot nap. I don't fall asleep easily outside my normal bedtime and don't feel refreshed afterwards.

The key to feeling refreshed is keeping them extremely short (think about 15 minutes tops), you need to wake up before hitting deep sleep or you have to wait for your next REM cycle to be over. It's admittedly pretty problematic when you have trouble falling asleep. My wife has this problem too, and she's a light sleeper on top, so naps don't work well for her. If I lay down for sleep, it happens in a matter of minutes, so a 15-20 minute power nap is easy and very efficient.

Same. I used to nap in class in high school as a bad habit, but was always more tired after.
