Etymology

The word 'napper' comes from the noun 'nap,' which originated from the Middle English term 'napp,' influenced by the Old English 'hnappian,' meaning to doze. The concept of napping has been around for centuries and is prevalent in various cultures, often associated with midday rest or siesta. As people began to recognize the benefits of short periods of sleep to rejuvenate mental and physical energy, the term 'napper' emerged to define those who engage in this practice. Over time, it has been adopted into everyday vocabulary to emphasize the positive aspects of taking short breaks for rest.
