The 15 minute break nap that sounded great but wrecked my whole day

I tried power napping during my lunch break at the office last Tuesday, set my phone alarm for 15 minutes like all those articles say. Woke up groggy, missed my 1:30 call by 8 minutes, and then couldn't sleep until 2 AM that night. My coworker Dana in accounting swears it works for her, but I honestly felt worse than before I closed my eyes. Has anyone else had a break nap backfire this badly, or am I just doing it wrong?

Read that sleep science stuff says 20 minutes is the sweet spot, so 15 might be fallin in the dead zone between cycles.
