How old are you? I used to be unable to take short naps and would always feel terrible on waking. Sometime in my late 20s-early 30s this completely changed and I have since grown to love the 15-20 minute nap. Likely there was some kind of shift in brain chemistry; it would be interesting to know what it was.

I have had the same experience. When I was a teenager, my day would be ruined if I took a nap. I would feel really tired, and a bit nauseous. Nowadays a short nap is almost never wrong, but I can still feel a little bit off sometimes.

I'm 31, so I'm hoping that switch comes soon. I've always envied people who could nap. =)
