In lots of cultures people have siestas to avoid the afternoon heat. The siesta is a very useful thing and I can also recommend it. But on one condition! Lie down during the day only if you are really tired. Don't lie down out of habit, because it can happen that you get tired. If the siesta lasts longer than 20-30 minutes, you can easily get to the third phase of sleeping. It is difficult to wake up from this and it leads to increased tiredness.
Decide consciously that you are tired and will have a 20-minute siesta. First of all set the alarm for 20 minutes so as not to fall asleep by chance! Lie on your back, close your eyes, do five complete lung breathings, then relax all your muscles with the help of the corpse position. After this, you get close to the state of sleeping, and can turn on your side, but even if you fall fast asleep, the alarm will wake you up.
