NAP

Data exchange hub

A nap is a short sleep, typically during the day: I took a quick nap after lunch.

To nap is to sleep briefly.

If something catches you napping, it finds you unprepared.

Separately, nap refers to the raised fibers on fabric or leather that give it texture—the soft surface of velvet or suede.
