Here is a short excerpt from an article Darren did about taking naps: But in another area of performing, actor Darren McGavin considers naps a vital way to rejuvenate himself when he`s making a film or appearing on stage. Over the years, he has learned to nap almost on demand. ``You work a 12- and 14-hour day, particularly when you`re filming,`` said McGavin, who is in the new movie Raw Deal with Arnold Schwarzenegger. ``By the time they call lunch, you`ve been there six hours or more, so I have something to eat in my dressing room and then nap for 30 minutes.`` Wherever he`s working, McGavin usually has a 2-by-6-foot piece of plywood in the dressing room, propped at a 30-degree angle against a sofa or chair. He places himself on it, head down and feet up, and goes off sometimes for as short a period as three minutes. ``I`m totally unconscious and I feel totally refreshed when I get up,`` he said.
