Feel ENERGIZED and REFRESHED with a Power Nap! Nap Timer allows you to fall asleep and wake up within a period of time. SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN cientifically proven to improve cognitive function, increase productivity, and alertness while leaving you energized and refreshed. Nap Timer is the SIMPLE and FAST way to set an alarm for the ideal power nap. A study by NASA found a 26-minute power nap improved performance by 34% and alertness by 54%. The secret to successful power naps is not sleeping too much. It is advised not to sleep over 30 to 40 minutes, which at this point you enter a state of deep sleep. Waking up in deep sleep causes sleep inertia, leaving you feeling groggy, drowsy, and generally worse off than before the nap. Power Nap Timer prevents you from entering this state of sleep by limiting how many minutes you are allowed to set an alarm to wake up from your nap. 6 Benefits of Power Napping: 1. Reduces Stress 2.

Count anything. Keep score of anything. Hashmarks shows your total as tally marks - just like a pencil, but better. Leave the counting to us. COUNTING Tap to add one or five, or subtract one for those times when things aren't quite going your way. Counting into the thousands? Type the number in directly instead of tapping your way to it. People through a door. Trick-or-treaters. Reps, laps, inventory, birds at the feeder. Anything you would otherwise keep on the back of an envelope. Counts run to 100,000, and below zero when you need them to. KEEPING SCORE Add up to ten players and give them names. The scoreboard reorders as you play, so everyone can see where they stand at a glance. Playing something where low wins? Switch the scoreboard to rank low to high and golf scores the right way up. LOOKING BACK Every game you count is saved with the date you played it. Give it a title and add notes, so the count you took last Halloween is still there the next one. ALSO Works offline. No account and no ads. Light and dark themes. Runs on iPhone and iPad.
