Nap Saturation Point
Nap saturation point is when more daytime sleep stops helping and delays bedtime—cap nap length and timing before stacking extra rests.
Nap saturation point is when extra daytime sleep stops helping and starts stealing night sleep—longer naps, later naps, or stacked naps push bedtime later without raising total rest quality. Signs include lying awake at night despite afternoon crashes.
Cap duration, keep naps before mid-afternoon, and fix night debt first. Coffee naps belong before saturation, not after.
Common questions

How do I know I hit nap saturation?
Bedtime slips later, night wakes rise, or naps stop refreshing you. Shorten naps, move them earlier, and prioritize night duration for one week.
