Great timing to see this clip...just crashed on the couch for hours! As for mid-afternoon naps, love them. So rarely take them, but i have been to crash in the office every once in a while after a long meeting.

Tried afternoon napping on Dr's advice. A very worthwhile experience ---and one I look forward to daily.

Interesting that Salvador Dali was a "napper"... Several of his paintings have images of melting clocks. Do you think there might be some connection???
