Dali nap

Extremely brief nap as devised by Catalan Surrealist artist Salvador Dali. He would slide off to sleep in a chair with his arm over the side, holding a spoon over a plate on the floor. The instant he fell asleep, his hand would loosen up and the spoon would fall out and hit the plate with a clatter that woke him up again. He claimed that the brief rest thus afforded him worked wonders.
The boss is coming in the door in twenty seconds. I'd better take a Dali nap.

nano nap

A very short nap, lasting only a minute or so. Shorter than a cat nap, a nano nap is used to just focus your mind or recharge quickly. You can take a nano nap in nearly any position in any location.
Although nano naps are very refreshing, I don't recommend taking one in your car waiting on a red light.

Grad-nap

A sudden urge to sleep, and the immediate act of satisfying this urge - the kind only experienced by students in graduate law programs at university.
The urge occurs irrespective of caffeine intake - and is, quite dangerously, contagious.
Often brought on by the mere mention of estoppel, promissory notes, misfeasance in a public office or annotated legislation.
C: Wow, six hours of university in a row. Grad-nap?

A: For sure. I've already painted my nails and had a three-shot black coffee. It's no wonder I feel a Grad-nap coming on.

Fap-nap

Fap-nap: a nap that occurs after the act of hand to schlong masturbation. Sometimes before the clean up has occurred. Used as a way to fight insomnia and a way to facilitate the sleeping process.
I took a fap-nap over lunch break! It was a deep sleep and I feel rejuvenated.
