How to use the online timer
Use this nap timer as a gentle boundary for a quiet routine rather than a target to endure.
Choose a safe, comfortable position, reduce screen brightness, and select an alert that will not undo the calm at the end.
Stop if you feel faint, numb, unwell, or unusually short of breath, and seek appropriate advice when symptoms persist.
Long summer evenings can delay sleep cues, while winter darkness arrives early, so curtains and lighting can support a consistent local bedtime.
Noise from rain on a tin roof or an early rubbish collection can be acknowledged without restarting the whole session.
Set the countdown for the duration that suits this nap timer; the page value is a starting point, not a rule.
Because mains power is 230 volts, keep a plugged-in device clear of steam and wet benches.
Auckland humidity, a Wellington southerly, or a dry Canterbury afternoon can change how warm a room feels.
Daylight saving shifts clocks on the last Sunday in September and the first Sunday in April, but a countdown still measures elapsed time.
Check the clock, then begin.
Common questions
Which alert suits the nap timer?
Use a soft sound or vibration that you can notice without being startled. Test the volume before settling into the session.
Should I keep going if I feel unwell?
No. Stop if you feel faint, numb, unusually short of breath, or otherwise unwell, and seek appropriate advice if symptoms persist.
