A lifestyle field guide for Huan’s sacred afternoon coma mode.
0. Core Intent
This is not a productivity system.
This is a hedonistic, high-bandwidth, nervous-system-pleasing ritual designed to:
- Maximize bodily pleasure 🛌
- Induce thick, syrupy sleep inertia 🧠
- Leave me feeling like a well-loved cat in a sunbeam 🐈☀️
If I accidentally become productive afterward, that’s a side effect, not the goal.
1. The Philosophy
-
Deep rest is a feature, not a bug That “druggy, lazy, slow” post-nap feeling = my brain still partially in deep sleep. It’s not broken. It’s delicious firmware behavior.
-
I am allowed to be gloriously useless
For about 20–30 minutes after these naps, I am an NPC. That’s OK. That’s the design.
-
Pleasure stacks Mild sleep debt + sex + food + cozy nap + sunlight walk = a natural cocktail. No subscription required.
-
This is a ritual Not every day. But when I choose this mode, I treat it like a tiny personal festival.
2. Ideal Use Cases
When is the Maximum Pleasure Nap Protocol appropriate?
- The night before was a bit short (≈6–6.5 hours).
- I have no hard commitments right after the nap.
- I want to feel deeply relaxed, sensual, and reset, not razor-sharp.
- I’m in the mood for: “This afternoon is for me and my body.”
When it’s not ideal:
- I have a meeting that requires IQ 180 within 30 minutes.
- I need to handle complex legal, financial, or immigration paperwork.
- I’m driving anywhere soon. (Post-nap grogginess + driving = no.)
3. Phase 0 — The Night Before (Optional Booster)
This is optional, not a self-sabotage mission.
-
Aim for slightly short sleep, not torture. Around 6–6.5 hours instead of 7–8.
-
Avoid strong stimulants too late: Last strong caffeine ideally before mid-afternoon on the previous day.
Goal: build just enough sleep pressure so my afternoon nap wants to slide into deep sleep.
4. Phase 1 — Pre-Nap Pleasure Stack
4.1 Morning Sleep
- Roughly 3 a.m. → 9 a.m. (calibrate as reality demands).
- Wake up, do normal morning things, be a human.
4.2 Intimacy Session
- Have great sex with my partner. Not rushed.
- Think of it as: cardio, emotional intimacy, and hormonal magic ritual.
Benefits:
- Physically: light workout, muscle relaxation afterward.
- Chemically: oxytocin, prolactin, endorphins → calm, satisfied, sleepy-capable body.
4.3 The Great Lunch
- Go out together for a nice, enjoyable lunch.
- Eat until comfortably full (but not “I regret my life choices” full).
Post-lunch effects:
- Blood flows to digestion.
- Alertness naturally dips.
- Body quietly whispers: “Later… nap?”
5. Phase 2 — Time & Place for the Nap
5.1 Timing
- Ideal nap start: somewhere around 2:30–4:30 p.m.
- My previous example: ~4:30 p.m. start worked great.
This aligns with:
- The natural post-lunch circadian dip.
- The accumulated sleep pressure from short night + busy day.
5.2 Location
Primary option: bean bag throne.
Requirements:
- Comfortable, soft, and slightly enveloping → so my body can melt.
- Safe and private → my nervous system knows, “No one needs me right now.”
- Slightly warm → not overheating, but cozy.
5.3 Environment Settings
-
Light:
- Dim or softened daylight. Curtains partially drawn.
- Optional: eye mask if needed.
-
Sound:
- Quiet apartment, or soft ambient music/rain.
- No podcasts with words; my brain will try to listen.
-
Devices:
- Phone on silent or DND.
- No alarms. The whole point is: wake naturally.
6. Phase 3 — The Nap
6.1 Pre-Nap Ritual
- Hydrate lightly (a bit of water).
- Go to the bathroom so my bladder doesn’t schedule the wake-up.
- Mentally acknowledge: “For the next ~1–1.5 hours, my only job is to dissolve.”
6.2 Target Duration
- Aim for ~45–75 minutes.
- No alarm → let my brain and body negotiate the exact time.
What’s likely happening inside:
- I drop into sleep quickly because of sleep pressure.
- I spend a chunk of time in deep slow-wave sleep.
- My brain then drifts slightly lighter within the nap.
- Internal signals (enough rest, circadian cues, minor discomfort, etc.) nudge me awake.
From the outside, it looks like: I vanished into the bean bag and respawned later. From the inside, this is high-quality nervous system maintenance.
7. Phase 4 — The Sleep Inertia Appreciation Window
This is the core pleasure of the protocol.
When I wake up:
-
Do not jump out of the bean bag. Stay there for 5–10 minutes.
-
Notice sensations:
- Heavy limbs
- Slow thoughts
- Soft, hazy boundaries between dream and waking
- Emotional tone: safe, satisfied, mildly dreamy
-
Zero tasks allowed:
- No email, no complex thinking, no planning.
- I am not a CEO right now; I am a luxury housecat.
-
Optional upgrades:
- If partner is present: quiet cuddling, gentle touch, minimal words.
- If alone: just breathe and enjoy existing.
This 5–10 minute window is where I fully taste the “natural drug” state I’ve created.
8. Phase 5 — Gentle Re-Entry to the World
After I’ve milked the inertia for pleasure:
-
Sit up slowly. Stretch neck, shoulders, back. Maybe a lazy yawn.
-
Light exposure:
- Open curtains wide.
- Step onto the balcony or outside if possible.
- Let daylight hit my eyes (no staring at the sun, obviously).
-
Movement:
- Go for a short walk, just like I did intuitively.
- Or wander around the house doing very light tasks.
-
Hydrate again.
-
Caffeine (optional):
- If I want to be more awake afterward, this is the time for a small coffee or tea.
- Not required; only if it serves the rest of the day.
The goal is to respect the slow boot sequence of my brain, not to slam Alt+F4 on the inertia.

9. Safety & Health Notes (Future Huan, Read This)
This protocol assumes I am generally healthy.
I should keep an eye on:
- If I start needing multiple long naps every day just to function.
-
If I experience:
- Loud snoring
- Choking/gasping awake at night
- Extreme daytime sleepiness even after full nights of sleep
Those are medical flags (sleep apnea and friends), not lifestyle aesthetic choices. In that case, the correct protocol is: talk to a doctor / sleep clinic.
Occasional deep pleasure naps like this, however, are totally compatible with a healthy life.
10. Variants
10.1 Pleasure Mode (Default)
Goal: maximum sensual, lazy, dreamy pleasure.
Key points:
- Slightly short night before.
- Sex + great lunch.
- 45–75 minute nap.
- No alarms.
- 10–20 minutes of unapologetic groggy enjoyment.
10.2 Soft-Functional Mode (Lite Version)
For days when I want some pleasure but still need mild brain power later:
- Keep nap closer to 25–35 minutes.
- Or commit to a full 90-minute cycle and set an alarm.
- Still keep things cozy, but accept slightly less intense inertia.
This document, however, is primarily a shrine to Pleasure Mode.
11. Closing Invocation
When I feel that specific combination of:
- Heavy body
- Slow thoughts
- Quiet happiness
- Zero desire to answer Slack
…I remember: this is not a defect. This is my nervous system saying:
“We did sex, we did food, we did deep sleep. You are safe. You are allowed to be slow.”
And for 20–30 minutes, I let myself believe it fully.
