powernap
Quick restorative snooze
A powernap is a brief sleep, typically 15–30 minutes, intended to restore energy without the grogginess of longer rest.
The term emphasizes efficiency—maximum refreshment in minimum time: I squeezed in a powernap between meetings.
Also spelled as two words: power nap.
