you see, i would debate this. a nap is during the day. only during the day? what if you go to bed a 9 and plan to wake up at 12? is that not a nap? why can't you nap at night? is that automatically sleeping? does the sun have to be set to sleep? can alaskans sleep? i know that it is still "night" even if the sun isn't down, but work with me. i think that this definition should be changed. napping should be any short time of "sleeping" whenever! 

someone can be like, oh by gawsh ib so seck. i slebt all daygh. 

thats a sick voice.

now is that sleeping? or napping? so you can sleep whenever but only nap during the day? this is bushleague! the definition of sleep no where refers to the time of day. but nap does. it isn't fair at all. i am positive that i have napped at night to regain some energy if i am going to be up late. 100% positive. hiv positive.

i think the dictionary should alter the definition to nap to just a short period of sleep. disregarding the time of day. and to all you "sleepists" out there who have haven't been giving naps the equal definition rights that they derserve... bite me.

let's all take a nap tonight! 

together?
