Title: Do you manage to take a nap during the day?
Post by: sommap on August 11, 2011, 08:33:35 am

As a senior citizen, I don't work, so I usually manage to get in a short nap - half an hour to an hour in the afternoon.  After eating my meal, I read for a bit and then fall asleep on the couch, sitting up.  At this age, it is refreshing.  When I was younger, a nap would just make me feel tired, etc. for the rest of the day.

If I have a free day and I am a little fatigue I will take a nap but for the most part I don't get to take a nap during the day.

Lately, I have resorted to putting on a movie for my kids 2-11 years, so that I can take a nap. I really need them because I have a 9 day old who thinks he should be up from 11 PM to 1 AM. I try to keep the TV off the rest of the day so that the movie is special.

I usually take a nap when my boys are taking theirs. Sometimes I don't get to because I have a busy day or one the boys decides to stay awake.  :heart:

A nap during the day would be bad news for me.
My naps are for hours at a time.
If I were to nap during the day I would never be able to sleep at night.

I enjoy taking a nap in the afternoon. I try to meditate during this time too. Puts me right to sleep.

I take a nap every once in a while now. Even though I'm young but I'm not outside active, and I tend to stare at the computer too much so I'm always in the mood for a nap lol.

PS, I'm SLIM....

I am not a senior citizen but I think a nap is always good. Keeps you refreshed. God says we need our rest. I think rest is better than any drug out there for curing what ails us.

I take a nap if I worked very early in the morning and have work at night as well otherwise I can't function. I don't always feel the best after a nap though even though I should feel refreshed. Not sure if I should nap or not but sometimes I just can't help it

Since I've gotten older I noticed my body wants to nap around 3 in the afternoon. I try to catch a nap about that time of day.

I don't intentionally take naps during the day, but sometimes if I am watching something on tv, I do fall asleep.
