Who Loves Naps?
« on: April 10, 2013, 11:59:10 am »
Naps are delicious. I got into the habit of a brief (10 to 20 minute) power nap a few years ago and think they may be even more refreshing than a full night's sleep.  It's like all of a sudden a blanket of fatigue comes over me and I HAVE to lie down for a few minutes. Then wake up and am raring to go for hours. If I'm not home there's no problem missing it but it IS a coveted few minutes.  :thumbsup: :wave: :heart:

Most of the time naps put me in a bad mood. I usually don't take naps for this reason. If I do take a nap I try not to lay down any longer than 30 minutes or else it will make go to into a deep sleep then I will be in a mood when I wake up.

I never take naps on a regular basis. The only time I lay down during the day is when I am not feeling well. I could never lay down during the day, something about sleeping while the sun is out.

I never take naps.  I like to be awake during the daylight, and sleep when its dark.  If I do take a nap, I wake up crabby.

I know what you mean - I used to feel the same way - the old Work Ethic thing  ;D  But so long as I don't sleep too long I get MORE done than I would have. Plus having worked night shift at one time helps when it comes to falling asleep at odd hours.

Yeah I can relate to taking a nap I get so tired sometimes all I want is to lay down and cut me some ZZZZZ's I will call it my little down time and then when I wake up I feel refreshed. Doesn't matter to me if it's day or night.

I enjoy naps! The only problem is my naps routinely will go from a planned 30 minutes to 3-4 hours D:

I love naps.  Usually, I don't get sleepy during the day until it's almost time to go to work.  I won't take a nap then because I'm scared I will oversleep and will be late to work.

I love a good nap too.
Grabbing a quick hour in the middle of the day is so refreshing.
If I can't get an hour in, I pass on the nap.

I like naps. Especially power naps when working on papers. I just took one because I was exhausted after work. But now its dinner time here and I think ill be up for awhile because I took one so late :P
