Professional Napping Referee · 85d ago
Officiated the Nordic Open this weekend. 48 athletes, 3 categories, 2 days. The Speed Nap finals were extraordinary. The winner, Sigrid Lund from Norway, fell asleep in 47 seconds from the moment the lights dimmed. The EEG confirmed full Stage 2 sleep at 1 minute 12 seconds. That's elite-level napping. Most people can't fall asleep that fast in their own beds, let alone on an INF-regulation mattress in front of 200 spectators. The only controversy: an athlete in the Duration category was found to have consumed chamomile tea 90 minutes before competition. Chamomile is currently in the 'gray zone' — not banned, but under review by the INF Medical Commission. I noted it. The athlete was not penalized. But it's on the record. 📋 Everything is on the record. #CompetitiveNapping #NordicOpen #NaturalSleepOnly #INF
