if it doesnt affect you sleeping at night then why should it be a bad thing~?

I sleep better during the day than I do at night. If you want to sleep during the day and are able to then go for it!

I generally don't take any sort of planned nap in the day because I usually feel lousy afterwards - but sometimes the body just takes over and I zonk out anyway. When I was in Japan last year I lost count of the places the Japanese take siestas. Every second or third parked car would have the driver's seat tipped right back and the driver snoozing away with a paper over his eyes. It was also common in places like Starbucks to see a business-suited office worker, laptop at the ready, coffee on the side with his head down on the table, apparently fast asleep!

Try and keep active until 9pm. Then wind down with a good book in bed. You will be nodding off in no time. Lights out at 9:30pm for a 4:30am start. Do this at weekends as well if you can!

Nap no longer than 20 mins if you have to.

They say an afternoon nap of about 20 mins (power nap) does you a lot of good.
I find if I nap in the afternoon, I feel disorientated for the next hour, so I try not to.

I often have a nap when I get home from work - it recharges your batteries - in fact, I think I'll have one in a minute.

I would love to be able to nap through the day... Problem is I'd end up sleeping for a good couple of hours and start my insomnia off again... :-/
