Most research supports the benefits behind a cat nap (approximately 30 minutes) in the afternoon to improve productivity and concentration. The University of California, Berkley, is focusing on research that supports the notion of the need to get a little extra shut-eye when taking an afternoon nap. They believe that 90 minutes of sleep helps to "increase the ability to learn" post nap time, due to the fact that the mind is able to get into a deeper sleep and therefore "help to clear short term memory". So maybe you shouldn't rule out an afternoon nap.
