The nap planner scores naps based on the following: with more dimensions to come. How do we estimate these things? We run hundreds of simulations of how your body’s clock is shaped by your activity patterns in the normal course of running Arcashift. The nap scores are natural extensions of these simulations, taking on the …

Here’s a weird thing about shift workers: Their sleep duration doesn’t always predict how sleepy they feel. Which is weird because… shouldn’t it?
