How do you ensure you are asleep for 15 minutes? Do you have a smart watch that detects when you drift asleep and can start a timer then? Or are you not losing consciousness, but are you simply closing your eyes and meditating?
For these instances where I get urgently fatigued ("brain tired") in the daytime, I close my eyes and fall asleep in 1-2 minutes. I'm definitely unconscious. I don't set any alarm and naturally wake up in ~15 minutes. It's been as short as 8 minutes, or as long as 30, but probably averages around 15. "Body tired" is different and requires the normal multiple hours of sleep.
How is it I am far from capable of doing such a thing, yet you can. I am boggled.
This is something I have considered getting into where and alarm goes off from when you actually fall asleep. For me it seems 5 hrs of sleep is the sweet spot (functional, slightly sleep deprived, but motivated)
