Is there a right time and way to nap?

Short naps are best taken around 2-3pm, when the tummy is filled with lunch and you're less alert. — Freepik

Dear Mayo Clinic: I am retired, and although I generally enjoy less hectic days now, I keep busy. Part of my routine includes trying to squeeze in a nap on most afternoons. My wife tells me that I'm doing it wrong because I often wake up groggy. Is there a wrong way – or time – to nap?

Closing your eyes for a few minutes during your busy day may seem like a good idea.
