Actually I do the "two sleeps" routine, particularly since I read about it and found out it's not something broken with me but it's (was) rather the normal way to sleep.

After the evening meal and a little screen time I'm starting to feel very sleepy and a bit annoyed because I would like to do more activity but it becomes uncomfortable and unpleasant to fight biology. So I turn off the light and put myself in bed with the full intention of sleeping all night if so happens to be, but not opposed to wake up again if also, it happens.

More often than not after 1-2 hours of nap, I wake up feeling refreshed so I turn on the light and screens (TV, phone, computer) and do more leisure stuff. Not gaming, which pumps the wrong hormones and will make it hard to go to sleep again. Browsing the net, listening to music, watching another episode from the many comedy series I started... 1-2 hours later I feel sleepy again and this time it's for good, lasts till morning. Even if I wakeup (and I do wake up 1-2 times during the night to hit the bathroom), I'm very drowsy. Half asleep make it to the bathroom cursing the weak bladder then crawl back in my bed and 5 minutes later I'm already dreaming.
