I occasionally take a quick <15m nap after lunch. What's interesting is that I don't fall fully asleep - I'm more in a halfway (hypnagogic) state. I'm kind of drifting between states of consciousness. I'm _mostly_ aware I'm reclined on the sofa, and I just let my thoughts go wherever they want. I can start myself on a particular daydream, but pretty quickly my mind wanders off without me realising. Sometimes I can pull it back - I guess as I drift into a bit more consciousness - but soon it's off again as the sleepiness takes hold.

It's a pretty fun experience. The daydreams are wild.
