The most optimal timing for sleep should be either 30 minutes or less, or around 90 minutes. Sleeping for exactly an hour would allow your body to enter into REM sleep completely, making it a lot harder to wake up. A half an hour nap solve that by preventing your body from entering REM sleep, while granting you the much needed rest. A 90 minute nap, however, is a lot more effective. It allows your body to enter REM sleep without imposing any difficulty in you waking up.

Studies suggest that presenting information right before sleep can enhance memory consolidation, as the brain processes and integrates new information during sleep. This is known as the "sleep effect on memory consolidation." Therefore, presenting information shortly before sleep can lead to better retention and recall of that information.
