I don't know if it's good for you or not, but there are historical references to this being a regular part of human society hundreds of years ago.

I've always called it the nap before bed. Back when I had roommates, one of the GFs would walk in at 7:30 PM and find three guys zonked out on the couches/chairs, all snoring loudly. Both have gone on to have kids and we reminisce about the naps before bed.

Now that my work life doesn't revolve around a schedule, I go to bed when I feel like, and I wake up when I feel like. So I don't get up much during the night. I'm usually a midnight to seven or eight sleeper now.
