Hey there,

Actually, I think the reason why naps are often succesful is simply that your sleep is much lighter!

There is a definately link between lucidity and how deeply you sleep, which is why it's generally harder to have lucid dreams when you're completely exhausted, or during the first few hours of sleep (when you're in real deep sleep). Basically, it seems like the deeper we sleep, the more our consciousness gets deactivated.

Now when you nap, you're sleep in a period outside your rythme, and you know you're napping, and not going into full sleep. That causes you to sleep lighter (you will generally wake up from napping a lot easier as well, say when disturbed by a noise or another person or something).
