I would be willing to do it if I could take those power naps.

I can usually/often get to sleep pretty quickly, but I'm not the type to wake up after a short period. I don't want to sleep for a couple/few hours.

This is not my problem (falling to sleep), but I think it's cool. My wife needs to practice it.
Most of the past and present brilliant minds took naps. I understand the value just cannot do it myself personally. Not that I have the time.

I typically sleep 5-6 hours a night, if I go to bed too early, like 10 PM I end up waking up at 5 AM before the 6 AM alarm, then I toss and turn thinking too much until the alarm goes off. Sometimes if there is too much to do that day, I just get up and start going.

I cannot imagine what I would be like at night if I napped during the day.
