Power Kips

Do they work?

I think they do.

 

Dunno what is it?

 

A very short nap. Could be a few seconds shutdown to up to 15 minutes snoozing. Supposedly a power kip can recharge you as well/better than a longer nap.

Some athletes (sprinters mainly) like to have a power kip in between same day races.

 

Yes defo.

 

Don't think I've ever had one then, I either sleep for 4 to 7 hours or I don't til the next day.

 

Really. I regularly power kip. Had one today already and it’s Sunday.

 

Deffo work.

I try to have one after work/before a game of squash etc.

Feel brand new after one.

 

Deffo works but I find it hard to drop off.

 

I’ll have an extended snooze today at some point between 2pm and 4pm.

 

Have you tried counting sheep?

 

+1 for power naps. Anytime between 2pm-4pm I try and grab 15 mins on the sofa if I'm at home. Feel recharged and refreshed and sleep better at night too

 

Same.

Not every day. But if I’ve put in a heavy shift at the gym I’ll quite often take a 20-30 kip in the PM.

 

Absolutely not they're **** for when yzzzzzzzzzzzz




Yep, brilliant. I'm off for a run.

 

I can't sleep when I'm supposed to

How do you lot manage to power kip?

 

Instead of skim reading one of King ****’s essays I read the whole thing in full.

 

tried that to no avail.

I also got that thing where you can't visualise things. So if counting sheep there are no sheep in my minds eye or whatever. Just me counting

I'd love to know how I can just nod off at will

 

I have power naps between each post i make, you always know when i haven't had one, someone gets banned

 

Doesn't work for me.

If I have a 10 minute kip I wake up feeling horrendous.

 

I try but always end up waking up 10 hours later in a daze.

 

Depends.

Sometimes you wake up feeling worse. But overall i think they work. You body tells you when it's shut off time.
