Power nap timer — 20 / 26 / 90 minutes

The best nap length matches your goal: 20 minutes for a quick refresh, 26 for the classic "NASA nap", or 90 for a full sleep cycle. Tickline dims to your theme, keeps the phone awake, and rings gently when it's time to get up.

Frequently asked questions

What is the "26 minute nap"?

NASA found 26 minutes optimised pilot alertness by ~54%. Long enough to refresh, short enough to avoid grogginess.

Will my phone sleep during the nap?

Tickline requests screen wake-lock so the alarm can ring reliably.
