It would take about 20 minutes for the imaginary spoon to "fall" and the "sound" of the spoon falling would wake him up. Hmm.

If that doesn't work for you (I'm not sure my imagination is that strong), try these other nap tips:

I think you need to re-read the Lifehacker post. They use a REAL spoon and the REAL spoon falls and makes REAL sounds to wake you up.
