Nodded off for about 45 minutes watching Brooklyn 99. Woke up just in time for dinner.

Got in a solid 90 minutes of shuteye this afternoon. Ready for action now!

Somehow I slept for three hours when I lay down tonight. Big mistake.

Was I chugging Coke Zero right up until midnight last night? You know it.

Hmm, I wonder if these are related…

[NerdAlert]

I’ve completely cut out caffeine, so yes, that’s the reason for the nap. But Coke Zero is not my biggest source of caffeine consumption (and caffeine doesn’t keep me up at night).

Breadmaker and NerdAlert, napping in a tree
ZZZZ, ZZZZ, ZZZZ, ZZZZ, ZZZZ, ZZZZ, ZZZZ!

Yes, I am childish.

I had a 20 min nap on the couch earlier this aft.

Frontiers | The relationship between daytime napping and glycemic control in...

[1695814]

From claude.ai:

Here is a summary of the key points from the article:

1. The study aimed to examine the association between napping characteristics (frequency, duration, timing, and type) and glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes.

2. A sample of 226 people with type 2 diabetes were included. Glycemic control was assessed by HbA1c levels.

3. No significant relationship was found between napping frequency and HbA1c. However, among nappers:

   • Longer napping duration (≥60 min) was associated with poorer glycemic control.
   • Morning napping (vs. afternoon napping) was associated with poorer glycemic control.
   • Restorative napping (vs. appetitive napping) was associated with better glycemic control.

4. The findings suggest that certain napping characteristics, such as long duration and morning timing, may have detrimental effects on glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes. In contrast, restorative napping may be associated with better glycemic control.

5. The study provides new insights into the relationship between napping and glucose management in diabetes. The authors suggest healthcare professionals could provide guidance on optimal napping behaviors for diabetes management.

6. Further longitudinal and interventional studies are needed to establish the causal relationships and underlying mechanisms between napping and glycemic control.

7. Raisins should be avoided at all costs. They’ll raise your blood sugar and are evil.

As my son would say, “yada yada, yin and yang,” I just took a long nap.

I lay down last night for a nap around 8:30, when my kids were going to bed, and that nap lasted 10.5 hours. Nice.
