Do you nap more these days?

[seadoug]

I typically sleep 8-9 hours per night. I go to the gym 5 days a week. That hasn't chanced for the past 6 years. A couple of years ago I never took afternoon naps. Now I find that at around 3:30pm when I'm on the couch and watching TV I drift off. Sometimes the cats are on my lap and they just look startled when I snore and wake myself up!

Anyone else finding naps are more frequent these days?

 

[Coconut]

Yes!
and it frustrates me. I never took naps before.
I always disliked when people feel asleep in their chairs, or on the living room couch, now I find myself doing it.
Then I get up from the chair, go to bed, sometimes I can not go back to sleep.
It really is annoying.

Same ^^^ ...I was never someone who slept during the day... but it's fatal for me to sit on the sofa if I'm even the least bit tired, because I'll drop off... so I try as much as I can not to sit downstairs during the day.. so I don't fall asleep...

I did that yesterday... I'd been busy most of the day with hard tiring gardening...hedge cutting, lawn mowing etc...

Later I sat down at my desk.. and suddenly I opened my eyes and realised I;d been asleep right here at my desk for 35 minutes...

I sleep 6 1/2 to 7 hours a night, no naps. However, I have dozed off for a couple of minutes when sitting outside with the chickens.

No naps, unless I am very sick

 

[jujube]

Oh, I DO love my naps!

 

[Knight]

No more than usual. Been taking naps for more than 30 years. Always sleep at least 7 hours straight each night so a nap doesn't interfere with that.

I’m a napper.

Normally my naps are very refreshing but every now and then I wake up with a nap hangover.

I used to take a nap most days but now I don’t . I’ve discovered that it interferes with my night time sleep when I do. Unfortunately I’m on medication that makes me sleep for about 10, sometimes 12 hours. I’m up now in the middle of the night cause I ate too much sugary foods yesterday. I had Jubejubes. Too much sugar gets me every time. Now I’ll probably stay up for a few hours and then fall back to sleep later on.

A nap hangover. That’s a good way of putting it.

 

[Jules]

No, I’m not a napper.

Regular naps prevent old age, especially if you take them while driving.

Don't sit on the couch, try the recliner chair instead. it's more comfortable.
