(15) The effects of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT (8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin) could be antagonized when concentrations of NAN-190 or BMY 7378 were used that were too low to produce a marked inhibition.
(16) In addition, methiothepin, pindolol, NAN 190 and SDZ 216-525 (Seiler et al.

Nap
Definition:
(v. i.) To have a short sleep; to be drowsy; to doze.
(v. i.) To be in a careless, secure state.
(n.) A short sleep; a doze; a siesta.
(n.) Woolly or villous surface of felt, cloth, plants, etc.; an external covering of down, of short fine hairs or fibers forming part of the substance of anything, and lying smoothly in one direction; the pile; -- as, the nap of cotton flannel or of broadcloth.
(n.) The loops which are cut to make the pile, in velvet.
(v. t.) To raise, or put, a nap on.

(3) Stage REM frequently appeared within 10 min of stage 1 onset and the normal sequence of stages REM and 4 were altered, demonstrating that the organization of sleep within a nap is quite different from that in monophasic nocturnal sleep.
(4) During subsequent time off, napping and night sleep increased total sleep length above baseline levels.
