The idea is you want that full rem cycle. You're mildly paralyzed during it and waking out out of sync is a bad time

Average person's REM cycle varies. Time to sleep varies.

I just did a couple of months worth of nap testing and found when I could and couldn't get up. And unless the nap was so short that I was still in the state I was in when I passed out, I counted it a success.
