Do you do power naps?

I've found power naps work really well on long car journeys... it's like 5 minutes of rest, 10-15 minutes of mild hallucinations (similar to when I'm falling asleep in a bed - sometimes wild ideas pop into my head and I get up to record them) then suddenly I'm fully awake and feeling amazingly refreshed.

I was on a long car trip an hour from home and wasn't confident I could make it safely. A 20 minute power nap later and I was raring to go, so much that I ended up taking the (very) long way home which took about 4 hours instead of 1.

So... can this be applied to a home/office situation? I would love to spend 20 minutes on an afternoon pseudo-siesta and feel refreshed, rather than sleep for 3-4 hours and wake up feeling like crap...

Anyone doing this?
