somme [sawm]
Pour faire un petit somme.
English translation
To take a short nap.
A nap is a short period of sleep, usually during daytime.
Matthew P. Walker has found a nap clears the brain to absorb new information.
“Sleep not only rights the wrong of prolonged wakefulness, but, at a neurocognitive level, it moves you beyond where you were before you took a nap.”
