So the nymphs they spoke,
we kissed and laid.
By noontime’s hour
our love was made.

our bodies draping wearily,
we slept, I slept so lucidly,
with hopes to stay this memory.

Julie Flygare

Normally, it takes people about 60 to 90 minutes to reach REM sleep, so they wouldn’t enter this stage during a 20 minute nap. People with narcolepsy often enter REM sleep soon after falling asleep.
