stress napping

taking multiple short naps (usually ranging from 10-30 minutes) to avoid immediate work, which often results in an unintentionally long period of rest because the time wasted by the previous nap places so much stress on the napper that he or she perceives the need to nap again

"How is your work coming along?"
"I started working last night and wanted to get two papers done before going to bed. Then I got overwhelmed so I stress napped from 9 pm until 7 am."

"I should be studying but I'm stress napping"
