When cleaning up my appartment I found an issue of Wired that I bought at some point but never read. Anyway, in it I found conclusive evidence for the benefits of my powernap habit:
Since stress moves focus to our amygdala (lizzard brain) and shuts down other parts of the brain where analysis, creativity and other juicy goodies are happening, you stressing is bad news for your boss who will get less out of you.
