What do you need right now?

Use this during the day to settle, rest, and wake gently without turning a nap into another task.

One choice at a time. Choose the purpose, timing, sound, optional coach guidance, and wake plan — then put the phone down and let the player handle the clock.

How to Use Nap Player
Step 1

What do you need from this nap?

Start with the outcome. You can still change the time before you begin.

Step 2

Set your wake plan

Choose a duration or an exact clock time.

minutes of nap time

Your timer stays honest.

Nap For starts the nap timer after optional voice settling is finished. Wake At always honors the exact clock time you chose, so settling time is included inside that window.

The running timer uses an absolute wake timestamp rather than trusting a simple decrementing interval.

Step 3

Choose how you want to drift

Sound and spoken guidance are separate. Either can be used without the other.

Background sound

Coach guidance

Optional. The voice helps you settle, then gets out of the way.

Guidance style
The spoken settling happens before a Nap For timer begins. Once the settling cue ends, the voice recedes and the nap is mostly silence or ambience.
Step 4

Choose your gentle wake

Every option keeps the wake timer authoritative.

NASA Pilot Nap — what the research actually found
40 minplanned rest opportunity
25.8 minaverage actual sleep
93%rest opportunities produced sleep

The NASA/FAA field study gave long-haul pilots a planned 40-minute rest opportunity. The pilots who slept averaged about 25.8 minutes of actual sleep. BPF's 26-minute option is evidence-inspired; it is not presented as a universal NASA prescription.

If you are still awake

During the active nap, the Still Awake button can play one brief optional reassurance cue. The app does not pretend to detect stirring or sleep stage.

After a longer nap

If you feel groggy, give yourself a few minutes. Light and gentle movement may help you feel more alert before demanding work.
