How these synonyms differ

doze - 'Doze' is light, often unintentional sleep, nodding off in a chair, drifting in and out. It lacks the commitment of real sleep.
nap - 'Nap' is brief and deliberate, a short burst of sleep taken during waking hours to restore energy, not a full night's rest.
rest - 'Rest' is broader than sleep, it includes lying down, relaxing, and recovering without necessarily losing consciousness.
slumber - 'Slumber' is poetic and peaceful, it implies deep, restful sleep, undisturbed and serene. The word itself sounds gentle.
