Culture & Language

Also in: Schläfchenkunst (Deutsch) · siestecraft (Español) · siestemétier (Français)

The skill of the well-timed nap — the craft of entering and leaving sleep without damage.

Napcraft is learned, not innate: the right hour, the right chair, the right alarm, the right forgiveness for the days it fails. Masters of the craft can nap on a train and wake at their stop; apprentices wake in a different mood and a different year.

Etym. — nap + craft — the skill metaphor for the deliberate nap; a craft is exactly a practiced art with masters and apprentices.

Rel. — napstrategist
