Can these monumental, innovative figures attribute their success their napping strategy?  Absolutely.

Sir Winston Churchill
Churchill’s love of napping was no secret. "You must sleep sometime between lunch and dinner, and no halfway measures. Take off your clothes and get into bed. That's what I always do. Don't think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the day. That's a foolish notion held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to accomplish more. You get two days in one - well at least one and a half, I'm sure. When the war started, I had to sleep during the day, because it was the only way I could cope with my responsibilities," said the big fella.

Salvador Dali
The famous painter with the killer moustache had a very idiosyncratic napping strategy, but a highly effective one nonetheless.  He would sit in a chair with a spoon in his hand over a tin plate.  When he’d fall asleep, the spoon would fall onto the plate, making a noise and waking him up.  He said that even such a brief nap would refresh him.  No, I’m not making this up.

Thomas Edison
Oddly enough, Tommy Boy believed that sleep was a waste of time and proudly reported that he only slept 4 hours a night.  He hoped that his invention of the electric light bulb would help people reduce their 'unproductive' sleep time.  It turns out, however, that Edison supplemented his night sleep with - you guessed it - naps.  He was reported to take two 3-hour naps each day!
