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.

to take a nap for at least 4 hours during the day, usually following a night of debachery, where no outside stimulus is able to wake you up

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.
