What's better.
Skip sleep altogether or take a 3 hour nap?

if you're tired or it's late... there's no such thing as a three hour nap.

take a 30 minute nap with your legs above your head level and you'll be rested Very Happy

it's 6 am now. I gotta get up at 9. Either I try to stay awake or sleep for 3 hours.
I can sleep for only three hours. Believe me, my alarm clock always gives me a near heart attack. I'll wake up from that thing Very Happy

For me, I would say skip it. I find it much worse to go to sleep and then abruptly wake up than not sleep at all. Smile

I would take 3 hours of sleep you will fill better for it in the afternoon, unless you want to be the walking dead in the afternoon.

Sleeping 3 hours and then forcing yourself to wake up will most likely ruin the entire day. The hormones released into your body will continue to flow through your system for another 3-5 hours after waking up and you will feel like crap. This is obviously different from person to person but for me, I'd stay awake and take it. If I go to sleep when tired and wake up 3 hours later while in deep sleep I'll be ruined for the rest of the day.

I'd say sleep. I find it quite easy to get up after such a short sleep, I only get tired again really fast in the afternoon then. But by then, the day if almost over and you can go back to bed soon Smile
Better take that few hours where you are not tired than being a Zombie the whole day Wink

I've heard 3 hours is about the limit on short sleep, as it gives you enough time in REM to actually rejuvenate better. Any less than that and you're in that level 2-3-4-2-3-4-2-3-4 sleepy state bouncyness that you don't actually rest in....sleep!

it all depends on how fatigued you are. Cant keep your eyes open ? Then imagine that the whole day, so go to sleep. Feel awake and like no problem, stay awake and push through with coffee, red bullö, cocaine.. whatever ^^

it really depends on your state...i had days with sometimes even just 2 hours of sleep and still felt good and awake, but then were others where i was feeling like shit all day long

what really works for me is having a cup of strong coffee, setting the alarm clock for 30mins and then taking a powernap. you wake up right as the coffee kicks in Very Happy
