A death nap is a nap where you actually are probably in a coma. A nap so glorious that you accidentally doze off at 3 pm watching reruns of TLC's "What Not to Wear," and when you wake up it's pitch black in the room and you realize it's 4 am and you slept the entire day/night away. Then you can't fall back to sleep, so you watch home improvement shows or infomercials until you have to get ready for the day. Then you're so tired when you get home you repeat the cycle all over again.

like a man nap, a person falls unexpectedly to the floor and is sleeping before they hit the floor. Often assuming the position of a corpse such as one at a CSI murder scene.

When you spend the whole nap feeling anxious and then you wake up feeling murderous instead of rested.
