What is another word for micro-sleeps?
Pronunciation: [mˈa͡ɪkɹə͡ʊslˈiːps] (IPA) 
Micro-sleeps are defined as brief moments of sleep that last anywhere from a few seconds up to half a minute. They usually occur when an individual is sleep-deprived or has been awake for a prolonged period. Other synonyms for this phenomenon include "naps", "catnaps", "power naps", "nodding off", "momentary sleep", and "micro naps". These terms all refer to a temporary state of sleep during which the brain enters a sleep-like stage. While micro-sleeps can occur during the day, they are particularly dangerous when driving or operating machinery as they can result in accidents and injuries. It's important to recognize the symptoms of micro-sleeps and take steps to prevent them, such as getting adequate sleep each night.
