Who, What, Why: How long is the ideal nap?
www.bbc.com

Air traffic controllers in the US have been advised to take 26-minute naps, after a string of episodes involving workers falling asleep. So is 26 minutes the ideal length of time for a nap?

    This is equivalent to rebooting your computer if it’s starting to lag.

    Too bad capitalism creates so much anxiety that you’ll never be able to get to actually nap even if you try.

    26 mins seems needlessly specific (and neither does the article claim that there’s a consensus on this point) but overall allowing and even promoting people to take naps during shift is certainly positive.

      Some concise people might struggle with a slovenly nap unless it has such definition. I think its specified like this to appeal to the target audience.
