## What is NAP26?

NAP26 is the amazing power nap program that gives you the rest and rejuvenation of a 3-hour nap in just 26 minutes-without feeling groggy!


With NAP26 you can grab a power-nap and feel the benefits of 3 hours of sleep in just 26 minutes.  The soothing, pulsating sounds help you block out the world and enter a relaxed, regenerative state.  Just before you enter the deep sleep cycle, a gentle voice tells me my nap is over.  You wake up charged, alert, and completely refreshed.

**NASA research on test pilots revealed 26-minutes as the optimum nap time, improving performance by 34% and alertness by 54%.**

I am a big fan of the NAP26 power nap system. As a frequent traveler, my position takes me to different time zones and naturally I end feeling tired due to the time changes. I use NAP26 either on the plane or in my hotel room prior to meetings. It never seems to fail me! I am constantly recommending this product to my friends and associates.

- Paul Brown - Airport Retail Consultant

“As a firefighter, I work long hours for an extended period of time.  NAP26 gives me an opportunity to catch up on lost sleep after my shift.  The 26 minutes I get from NAP26 helps me fall asleep into a state of relaxation, and then I wake up to get things done before my next shift.  I have recommended it to all of my buddies!”
-Daren Drown, Firefighter

“The NAP26 app is exactly what I needed.  I sing up to 4 times on a weekend and Sunday’s I am up from 5:00am and don’t stop until 10:00pm.  The 26-minute power nap keeps me going.  I’ll take one around noon during my break and then I’m ready to go.  I would recommend the NAP26 app to anyone and everyone!”
-Jacki Taylor, Lead Singer-Sweet Chariot

### 5/5 — Great Power Nap app

*2023-05-03*

Always use when I need to have a Power Nap. It would be great if you could have a selection to use for a full sleep. (Turn off before the wake up section). To select Power Nap or full sleep.

### 5/5 — Used it for years

*2022-05-24*

I love this app. I would hate to not have it. I have used it traveling all over the world with jet lag problems. It always gets my stress system back in order with the quick nap. Sometimes that is all the time you have—26 minutes. I fall asleep and don’t even realize it until it wakes me up.I am a high energy person and if I lie down long enough to take a regular nap, I will sleep two hours, and that really messes with a busy schedule. So 26 minutes bringing me peace and calmness.  It’s worth it.

### 5/5 — Wonderful App!

*2021-12-19*

I’ve been using it for a very long time…. I believe I saw an article where Suzanne Somers recommended it and I decided to try it… very very soothing .. sounds like heavy rain… love it!

### 2/5 — . Stood out money

*2020-12-12*

Paid extra for the night version which was great at bedtime but once they bought the company they dropped the night version! EVEN THOUGH IT WAS WHAT WE PAID EXTRA FOR.  BEWARE OF THE CROOKS RUNNING THIS APP

### 2/5 — Works if you can fall asleep in a minute

*2019-04-06*

This may work for a few people if they are able to fall asleep at the drop of a hat AND  with a heavy rain sound. The science is true, 26 -ish minute nap works wonders.

I need some minutes to fall asleep and since the app wakes you up in 26 minutes, it would wake me up before I would have slept 26 minutes. Also, I can’t relax to that specific sound of heavy rain. It kept me awake as it was noise to my brain. I do have another app that is just rain and you can modify it in 50 different ways (intensity, type of rain, etc.) Love it.

### 5/5 — Works

*2018-08-18*

Hey it’s me, Wilson!  I had a great time with this app. I just tested it on myself and I feel excellent. I’m glad my buddy talked me into trying it. Thanks buddy.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2018-08-18*

It seriously works. I’m 10/10. We just tested it on Wilson and it works.

### 5/5 — nothing but love

*2015-07-13*

for this app. I've had it for years. never used the full nights sleep feature so I wasn't bothered when they phased it out. this is without a doubt the best way to get a quick few winks and feel refreshed.

### 1/5 — Never worked for me

*2015-05-13*

The sound hurts my ears regardless of how low I set the volume.

### 1/5 — What a disappointment

*2015-01-24*

Paid for the Easy2sleep module of this app and they took it away during an upgrade!  Don't trust this app company until they make things right for their customers again!  Plenty of other sleep apps out there in the meantime.  Unfortunately, Easy2sleep was my favorite.
