Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.

the other consequence that can happen which is non-mutually exclusive is that you then stay in not as deep as sleep and your sleep is more some more fragile in that sense so the probability that you will wake up because because you had the nap so late in the day is higher in the middle of the night and then when you wake up like many of us do and you go to the restroom or It's Perfectly Natural but the speed with which you can then fall back asleep is compromised why because you've jettisoned some of that sleepiness by way of the nap and there isn't as much to take you back down into sleep after you've woken up
