catnap vs. power-nap

“While a power-nap and a catnap can be considered to be synonymous in terms of duration and effect, the vernacular usage often makes a behavioral distinction: a power-nap involves a break from activity, while a catnap is of a more leisurely nature. Thus, one may take a power-nap in the middle of a busy work day, and a catnap on the couch during a lazy afternoon.”
