When researching the definition of “nap” this misconception continues. Synonyms include doze, catnap, drowse, drop off, nod off, and snooze, all of which also carry the negative connotations of unproductivity and weakness. For some reason we have, as a society, decided that if a person is not powering through all needs for rest and rejuvenation they are lazy therefore unreliable. This, using the old term brought new, is malarkey.

Is it all in the name? If “napping” had a fancier, more “click-baity” name such as “Stage 2 Rest Cycling” or “Short Duration Mental Refresh” would it be more palatable? I’m thinking it’s something far more basic than that. No matter what you call a nap, it comes down to accepting the fact that for a human to work at their optimal state regardless of what they are doing they need to be well-rested.

There is no disputing the factual evidence that S2R (napping) has benefits. There is also no doubt we don’t provide ourselves the opportunities to reap these benefits because of the perceptual stigma around the name itself. So next time you feel like you need a nap and are afraid you’re going to get some grief, just tell them your’re testing a new productivity strategy called S2R.
