In polyphasic sleeping, if you are trying to do 20 minute naps, should one set the alarm for twenty minutes after lying down or should fall asleep time be counted in too? I.E., if it takes me 5 or 10 minutes to fall asleep should I set an alarm for 25 or 30 minutes, or is the falling asleep time included as part of the "nap?"
