Etymology

The word 'nap' traces its origins back to the Middle English word 'napp', which is a variant of the Old English 'hnappian', meaning 'to doze or nap'. The Old English word itself is thought to derive from Proto-Germanic *hnappลnฤ…, which relates to the action of sleeping lightly or briefly. Over time, the term has evolved to encompass a short, light sleep usually taken during the daytime. Napping has been a part of human culture through history, with references to the practice appearing in various literary works and in the customs of different societies. The concept of napping is especially prevalent in cultures that emphasize midday rest, as seen in Mediterranean countries where the siesta is a common practice.
