naps
Short daytime sleeps
Naps are short periods of sleep, typically during the day: I took a quick nap after lunch.
A nap refreshes without the full commitment of bedtime.
The verb means to sleep briefly.
To catch someone napping is to find them unprepared.
Separately, nap refers to the raised fuzzy surface on fabric like velvet or suede.
