About this episode

The episode discusses and ranks various types of naps, exploring their benefits and risks.

On this episode of That’s a Good Point, Dion, Irv, and Jon tackle one of life’s most important low-stakes debates: the best types of naps. From the traditional Thanksgiving nap to the dangerously long “accidental hibernation,” they rank the full spectrum of daytime sleep, weighing benefits, risks, and the likelihood of waking up confused about what year it is. If you’ve ever said, “I’ll just lie down for a minute,” this episode is for you. Follow us on X & Instagram @ThatsaGoodPoin1 and check out That’s A Good Point on Facebook.
