I'm a huge advocate of naps. While I realize that naps are a luxury, and that for many they are impossible, for those of us who do much of our work from 7-10pm, they aren't always optional.
Given my affinity for naps, it was nice to see a story on the front page of Digg today about the benefits of naps.
The study states:
For years naps have gotten a bad rap, derided as a sign of laziness, weakness, or senility... ...but lately napping has garnered new respect, thanks to solid scientific evidence that midday dozing benefits both mental acuity and overall health. A slew of new studies have shown that naps boost alertness, creativity, mood, and productivity in the later hours of the day.
Hooray for naps!

I wish I could nap. I get a headache if I nap during the day. Bummer! But Autumn loves her nap each day. She actually asks for it.
