Looks like the quote was from Will Durant, based on an Aristotle saying.

>"Virtues are formed in man by his doing the actions," Aristotle said. The writer Will Durant interpreted it thusly: "We are what we repeatedly do… therefore excellence is not an act, but a habit." https://dailystoic.com/we-are-what-we-repeatedly-do/

Re:Benefits of Napping in Healthy Adults (2009) [pdf] on Tuesday September 19, 2017 @10:36PM (#15290342)
I found that after a few weeks of trying to take 20 minute naps after lunch I was able to fall asleep pretty quickly. One thing I read at the time said that even if you don't fall asleep during the 20 minutes, you still get some of the benefits. I think napping sort of taught me how to fall asleep quickly.
