I'm not a professional in napping, but I am not sure what you mean. Did you mean, If I wake up at 7:00am and come home from school at 4:30ish , then I have a napwould trying a WILD get me anywhere or would I just be wasting my time?

If that is the case, then no. It is just a bad idea to nap too close to the time when you fall asleep because you will stay awake longer, and it will be hard to fall asleep.

If that isn't the case, then yes, you would be wasting your time. You would need to initiate a REM period first.
