Agreed. To be clear, I was advocating an early wakeup, followed by a good workout, a light breakfast, outside time and then a decent (but reasonable!) sized lunch approximately 1-2 hours before your planned nap opportunity.

A person I trust regarding health issues once told me that if you're choosing between sleep and exercise, always ALWAYS chose sleep. It will serve you far better throughout the day than getting a few extra reps/miles in.
