Extended [[naps]], sometimes referred to as pronaps, usually have a length of 40-45 minutes. They were suggested first by Jelte to be used during the dawn hours, after needed SWS is met and REM is prioritized by the brain. It turned out to be successful, allowing to get more REM/LNREM, and is used quite often. Longer naps also proved to be successful on non-reducing biphasic schedules such as [[BiphasicX]], having refreshing natural wakes. Other than that, pronaps aren't recommended on the reducing schedules, since they have mid-cycle wakes during SWS, which is not refreshing naturally and leads to [[sleep inertia]] or sometimes zombie-mode following by oversleeps. However, it was suggested that such mechanism as [[wake time programming]] might cause the adaptation of brain to inserting light sleep at the exact time of daily waking up, which means it's likely possible to start getting refreshing/natural wakes from pronaps even on reducing schedules even outside of REM peak. There is a couple of examples of this mechanism, which were suggested.
