A power nap is a short sleep which terminates before the occurrence of deep sleep or slow-wave sleep (SWS), intended to quickly revitalize the subject. The expression was coined by Cornell University social psychologist James Maas.
And yet, power just means energy flow per unit time. We all know the Watt is a unit of power consumption and have an idea how quickly a 1500 Watt kettle boils water.

A 100-HP car would be able to turn a 75,600 - Watt electrical generator, or 75.6 kilowatts. So anybody who does talk about energy, rarely speaks in Joules.
