I've been dozing but not quite napping a lot, which I find weirdly frustrating.
I've been adapting to this by "visualizing a nap" -- which adds a more restful and fruitful quasi-meditation vibe.
Where would you want to "visualize a nap?"
It's totally imaginary, so you could nap floating in outer space, zipped into a sleeping bag full of kittens....

@vlrny@lonelinesscorps sometimes I relax by imagining myself on a warm summer night with a slight breeze sleeping outside on a comfortable bed under a sky full of stars. If I could be floating or rocking on a boat…even better.
@vlrny when I was younger, but well an adult, I painted glow in the stars on my ceiling, played outdoor sounds on a cd, and ran a light fan to create a breeze.

I find water really restorative and comforting these days, so like imaging floating in hot springs and then napping on the surrounding rocks.
@vlrny@lonelinesscorps that sounds lovely and like some of The Honest Guy guided meditations on youtube
My visualize a nap spot is thick hedge of myrtle and scrub you find a way thru and inside it's a shady private clearing under thick tree tops. The ocean is across the street. There's no bugs - perfect temp - shady.

I love to focus more on my breath and body with different versions of body scans, and drop off to sleep. Adding a place visualization would be an interesting element to add. I used to like to visualize a sort of courtyard that one might find at a Japanese style Pagoda, with different areas, covered and open. That might be a good start.
