1. Sleep and naps are the exact same thing. Prove me wrong.
2. Does jet lag create a malleable brain in which there is no fixed sleep and wake time? For I have read the brain is trying to catch up to the current wake/sleep time. People say all the time "go to bed early lol to change your time". My brain was catching up to the 4am slowly over a few days. If a sleep and nap are fundamentally the same thing and my brain is malleable because of the jet lag then my new bedtime could very well be 1pm now thanks to my fuck up.

I am very pissed off and just about ready to go on a journey that will put me back at sleep all day wake all night until I get to 4am again minus this fucking shit. Someone please talk me out of this if you are well versed in sleep and naps.
