Course Overview

Why Get Certified in Napping?

In today’s hustle-obsessed culture, anyone can sleep. But can they nap strategically? Can they deploy a 22-minute micro-rest with the precision of a Swiss watch and the grace of a cat in a sunbeam? That’s what separates amateurs from certified professionals.

Our 10-week program covers everything from pillow ergonomics to workplace camouflage, preparing you for the challenges of modern professional unconsciousness. Whether you’re a startup founder who “sleeps when they’re dead” (you look terrible, by the way) or a seasoned napper looking to formalize your gift, this program meets you where you are — probably horizontal.

Upon completion, you’ll join an elite global network of over 12,000 certified nappers who have gone on to achieve absolutely nothing faster than everyone else.
