disco nap

Rest before partying

A disco nap is a short sleep taken in the early evening before going out for a late night of partying or socializing.

The idea is to store up energy for dancing and drinking into the early hours: I'm taking a disco nap before we hit the clubs.

The term dates from the disco era but remains current.
